"Nearly limitless" literally just means "limited" without giving any idea at all about the actual amount, which I think is unhelpful on the part of the video's introduction. The current title of the video, which says "could power the entire planet," is better if it's accurate.
No shade to you yog, it's a good video to share.
Limited in the sense that many hundreds of thousands of years are limited
Are you sure it's not limited in the sense that hundreds of years is limited? Or hundreds of millions? Billions? Quintillions? There's a difference in a case like this.

It's not. It just heats up some water like any old coal power plant. In theory. In practice, fusion just consumes enormous amounts of energy.
