The Disadvantages of Fusion Energy

Fusion is when you take two small elements like helium and combine them together into a heavier element in order to produce electricity. This is how the sun produces energy. We can't actually do that at the moment fusion energy is not yet possible but if we could, some have intimated it would be dangerous because of the massively high temperatures. The amount of substance that you have is just as important as the actual temperature of that substance. There is a much greater risk that the container that you are doing the fusion in would cool down the substance and stop the fusion reaction rather than the fusion itself.
