Nuclear Fusion Energy

Nuclear fusion—it’s practically the holy grail of energy production. It’s the same process that powers our sun, the primary fuel source is commonly found in seawater, its waste isn’t radioactive, and it doesn’t produce greenhouse gases. It’s pretty close to the perfect base-load power source, one that can be run constantly day and night. The only problem is we haven’t been able to produce a controlled fusion reaction that takes less power to initiate than it produces. So far, fusion has been more of an energy sink than source.
