Fusion, on the other hand, creates energy by merging atoms together. It’s long been a dream because it could create limitless clean energy without the radioactive byproducts of nuclear power or the risk of meltdown. Plus, the fuel to make fusion happen is simply heavy hydrogen atoms, which can be found in something that Earth has in abundance: seawater. No mining of uranium is required."

Of course, it remains to be seen if this will be able to save us from climate change. The fact that so many world governments have barely taken serious steps to seriously combat it tells me that what we need more than technology is for governments to no long put industry and profits above the well-being of the planet. New technology isn't enough, it's how we use it that will determine our shared fate. However, having more environmentally friendly technology as a tool can only benefit us.
