Potential of fusion
250 kg of deuterium and tritium = 2.700.000.000 kg coal
Abundant and easily assessable resources No CO2 release Inherently safe No long-lived radioactive waste

How do we achieve fusion energy?
Heat the fuel to 200 million degrees C (15 times the temperature of the core of the Sun)
Keep the fuel floating in a strong magnetic field (5-10 Tesla) in a vacuum chamber of 1000 m3
It can be done! – It has been done
