as of this writing, is searching for an appropriate stretch to build the first tube. 1. Sustainable Fusion reactor Nuclear fission (the process by

which nuclear power plants produce energy) is much easier to control than nuclear fusion (the process by which the sun burns, and nuclear weapons work).

Small nuclear fusion reactors have been built, but a large-scale, sustainable fusion reactor has yet to be attempted#ntil now.

nuclear fusion is cleaner and yields three to four times more power than fission. The project is called ITER, for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor,

I think nuclear fission energy will be suitable as a transitional substitution mean while. 3. Let's hope we can have feasible nuclear fusion energy soon.

Why can't they take nuclear fuel rods into space and drop them to burn up in reentry to atmosphere?

That's only a DECADE after the FIRST nuclear fission in human history! The nuclear plants finished recently (within the past decade) were built with technology developed in the seventies and eighties.

Nuclear fission and fusion and combination of the two have yet to reach the potentials and can be so much better than fossil fuels in both safety and efficiency (with A LOT OF help).

and tin but due to the repulsive force between the positively charged nuclei nuclear reactions were not possible. Instead the nuclei were excited to higher energy levels producing gamma rays that flew out in a specific pattern that revealed the pear shape of the nucleus. In the very biggest picture we're trying to understand everything we've observed directly
