Tag: Future energy

Over 80% of the world's energy supply still comes from fossil fuels, a finite resource nearing depletion, forcing humanity to look for sustainable alternatives. While solar, wind, and other renewables are immediate solutions, the true "last resort for energy" for civilization lies in technologies capable of providing power on a truly global and long-term scale. These include harnessing the Earth's internal heat and replicating the energy production of stars through nuclear fusion.

The sun, our most powerful example of a nuclear reactor, is powered by fusion reactions. This stellar process, which combines light atomic nuclei to release enormous amounts of energy, is the subject of intense research, begging the question: does fusion give you energy? The answer is a resounding yes, and replicating it on Earth could provide a virtually limitless source of clean power.
