Fusion is clean, safe, and sustainable. The supply of fuel (extracted from seawater and lithium) is essentially limitless, due to the small amounts of fuel required. Unlike traditional nuclear power, there is no chain reaction and there is no possibility of a meltdown. A fusion reaction releases no pollutants or greenhouse gases and leaves no dangerous spent fuel.
Fusion is happening in laboratories in America and around the world. Experiments planned for this year and next within the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are expected to yield pulses of fusion energy greater than that used by the huge laser array to trigger them.
Even though fusion energy can provide ultimate energy security for America, there is a lack of political will
