Example Response: Nuclear Fusion Energy

Claudia Wessner
  • 4 Million times more energetic than a chemical reaction such as burning coal, oil, gas
  • Does not give off any greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Much lower risk for nuclear proliferation compared to current nuclear reactors
  • Difficult to achieve and sustain this reaction.
  • 59 megajoules of sustained energy for five seconds is enough energy to power 35,000 homes during that time
