On April 7th, scientists of Sandia National Laboratories stated that they had discovered thermonuclear fusion, a beginning to the possibility of a new energy source, fusion power. These scientists detonated a tiny hydrogen bomb, the essence of thermonuclear fusion. These controlled explosions are small, yet could be a method of generating electricity by using the process that powers the sun, fusion. Combining hydrogen atoms into helium, fusion produces abundant energy as a byproduct. Fusion power would be much safer than fission, which is the method currently used in nuclear power plants. Fusion does not produce radioactive waste.
These recent experiments done by the Sandia scientists could lead to something like an internal combustio...
