If fusion is achieved, it might be one the cleanest energy resources

Recently nuclear fusion has seen several breakthroughs. One of them happened on the 5th of December 2022, when a research team achieved “ignition” at the National Ignition Facility part of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California[1]. In other words, for the first time, a fusion reactor has produced more…
