 "The never-ending energy like the sun will be produced on earth, the nuclear fusion plan that America is making")
We may have seen and heard a lot about solar energy and nuclear energy, but soon the world will be using hydrogen based energy to generate electricity. If all goes according to plan, the US will have the world’s first grid-scale nuclear fusion power plant. If this plan is successful then there will be no shortage of electricity in the world in the future. Let us tell you that hydrogen based energy is a clean energy. This plant is going to generate electricity using the same technology that the sun uses to generate energy to light up the world.
It is believed that its work will be completed by the year 2030. If that happens, the plant will be able to generate electricity for people for decades without emitting any carbon emissions. At present, there is a plan to generate 400 MW of electricity from this plant, which will provide light to about 1.5 lakh houses. A startup company called Commonwealth Fusion Systems is working on this clean energy project. CFS and Richmond, one of the largest and best-known nuclear fusion companies, are investing several billion dollars in its construction.
How does nuclear fusion energy work?
If understood in simple terms, nuclear fusion energy is the energy that is produced by a nuclear fusion reaction. In nuclear energy, on the one hand, molecules break apart, causing energy to be produced. At the same time, the molecules in the hydrogen bond together, causing energy to be generated. These molecules then break apart and join later. This generates repeated energy. It is considered clean energy. It is said that it is also the source of abundant heat present on the Sun. It involves fusing atoms together to create a powerful blast of energy, which is achieved using hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe.
The challenges have not diminished
This will be the first time in the world that energy will be provided through fusion power on plasma. However, moving in this direction is not as easy as it is being claimed. This is because this technique has not yet been proven practical. The whole world is currently moving towards adopting clean energy. To save the planet, everyone wants to distance themselves from carbon emission based energy sources. Nuclear fusion energy is an energy that will always be available on Earth.
