For years, scientists have been testing ways to stop the destruction of our planet. This dismantling has been caused by our massive use of fossil fuels. In just a few hundred years, this “energy source” has torn enormous holes in our ozone layer, caused countless deaths of both animals and humans, and ripped the Earth down to its bare bones. We must learn to distance ourselves from this source as a whole. This is easier said than done. Humans have developed a connection to fossil fuels, called “the easy way out.” As a society, we are known for being wasteful and materialistic. Our dependence on fossil fuels is no different. To put this monster in perspective: humans have used enormous amounts of fossil fuels since the early 20th century alone. All this deterioration was caused in a time span of less than 200 years. This doesn't even affect the amount of time humans have been on this earth. Easy access to fossil fuels has changed our society as a whole, leading to rampant materialism. We have forgotten how to work for things, and also how to preserve and care for the things we love. Various alternative energy sources are being considered to power our needs over a large area of ​​land. None would be as effective as nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is what powers the Sun and all other stars. Fusion occurs when the nuclei of two atoms join together to become one. However, it should be noted that fusion occurs easily in stars. This is due to the high temperatures (atoms must be heated up to 200 million degrees to occur) and also the high pressure in the core of these stars. It is much more difficult to achieve fusion here on Earth. Research into nuclear fusion began around 1920. Physicist FW Ast...... at the center of the article ...... on energy production. The nuclear fusion reaction is so delicate that the safety level is maximized. If the fuel supply in a nuclear fusion reaction is cut off, the reaction stops completely. In a fission reaction, the reactor is loaded with enough fuel for several years, making it extremely dangerous compared to its nuclear cousin. Fusion energy is one of the most promising emerging energy sources. However, there are many aspects of this reaction that make it seemingly impossible to reproduce here on Earth. Compared to many other energy sources, it seems perfect. There is enough hydrogen in the ocean to power a nuclear fusion economy for billions of years. Researchers are still evaluating ways to create more energy than needed to cause a nuclear fusion reaction. Once this is achieved, the world could transition to nuclear fusion energy forever.
