Good news! Hydrogen, nuclear fusion or nuclear fission or all three of them probably are better energy supplies for our future than the so called unreliable, intermittent, enormous land/area consuming renewable energies like solar and medieval wind power!
"Hell yeah for nuclear fusion: Xcimer Energy, founded in 2022, just raised a $100 million Series A to build a nuclear fusion power plant so it can start producing power at commercial scale. Xcimer is pursuing something called “inertial confinement fusion,” which could produce tremendous amounts of energy — a huge necessity in our increasingly digital world."
"... Xcimer is pursuing what’s known as inertial confinement fusion. It’s the same type used by the NIF [National Ignition Facility], which proved in December 2022 that controlled nuclear fusion could produce more power than was required to initiate the reaction. In inertial confinement, a laser is fired on a small fuel pellet, compressing and heating it to the point where its deuterium and tritium atoms start fusing, releasing tremendous amounts of energy in the process. ..."
