Nuclear Fusion is an energy source that produces the least amount of greenhouse gasses, contrary to fossil-fuels. Fossil fuels are thought to account for at least 40% of greenhouse gasses, including CO2 and Methane. Nuclear Power produces only half the amount of greenhouse gasses as burning coal alone, resulting in much more control in CO2 emissions. Nuclear Fusion could become the leading energy source in the future, because it releases the least greenhouse gases, and produces much more energy in a shorter amount of time for almost the same cost as coal mining. Nuclear Fusion already keeps you alive, because it is what keeps the sun burning since it was born, and will continue powering the sun for around 50 billion years.
