The Promise of Plasma Fusion
There's a big research program europe called iter they're spending about 60 billion dollars trying to make the first demonstration system of plasmo fusion. If we can do it, if it works, it will produce more energy than is put in to start the fusion. There is no radioactive materials, and it uses hydrogen as a fuel source. Hydrogen is everywhere. It costs nothing. So we can literally pull water out of the ocean, pump it into a fusion, and great energy, great electricity that humans can use. That's the promise of fusion. And it's decades away.
