In reality the introduction of “limitless free energy” would cripple the world economy.
It would most likely lead to less violence. Most of the violence on this planet is over resources. If you have infinite resources violence would decline.
The overall economy would be better off. Transporting goods us now free. Nobody has an electric bill anymore.
Oilfield baws would take a massive hit but other sectors win bigly.
The Middle East would become much more violent, at least in the short term. A lot of those countries have nothing going for them other than cheap oil. That money gets cut off and you have a lot of impoverished, angry citizens. And the state media outlets would blame it on the infidels.

Would fusion power plants be good for the world

Fusion reactors are inherently safer than fission reactors. A fusion reactor cannot "run away" or have a meltdown like a fission reactor - if a fusion reactor develops a problem it simply shuts down and ceases to produce electricity.
Recent developments in Tokomak reactors indicate that commercially viable fusion units could be a reality within 20 years. Currently, fusion reactors can sustain their fusion reaction but cannot produce enough excess power to be commercially successful.

It right now because they would take more energy to creat fusion than they can produce

Let's think big picture. The longest advanced civilization in human history was the Romans. You can argue they were at their best for 300-500 years. It wouldn't be a good idea to activate nuke plants throughout the planet and have no one to monitor them. Half life of that waste is like 150k years. Meltdowns would rekt the planet.
Let's play "Who doesn't know a goddamned thing about fusion?".
