Fusion Fuel: Abundance Meets Energy Potential
Fusion fuel offers an extraordinary energy potential, equating one pound to 5,000 barrels of oil or 3.5 million pounds of coal. The abundance of fusion fuel is striking, as deuterium is naturally present in seawater, with one in every seven thousand water particles being D2O. Additionally, tritium can be generated from lithium, indicating that the Earth possesses sufficient fusion fuel to sustain human energy needs for 30 billion years at current consumption rates.
