This is why we don't need the government to save us from the energy crisis and protect the environment from man-made warming. Science, innovation, and business will do it for us. Carbon credits...LMAO. Amazing stuff:
Lockheed Martin Claims Fusion Breakthrough That Could Change World Forever - Forbes
In the simplest terms, nuclear fission breaks a single atom into two whereas nuclear fusion combines two atoms into one.
Fusion, the holy grail of nuclear power, creates three to four times as much energy as fission. More importantly, fusions key advantage over fission is that it does not produce cancer-causing radioactive waste.
Its safe, its clean, and Lockheed is promising an operational unit by 2017 with assembly line production to follow, enabling everything from unlimited fresh water to engines that take spacecraft to Mars in one month instead of six,
The key breakthrough involves using a magnetic bottle to contain the vast amount of heat, which rises into the hundreds of millions of degrees, created by the nuclear reaction.
