One good reason-it has not been made to work yet! We do of course use solar energy which is produced by nuclear fusion

What are two reasons that people have not been able to use nuclear fusion as an energy source?
Nuclear fusion is unsure now at industrial scale.
How the sun provides chemical energy to people on earth?
The source of energy is the nuclear fusion.
How does hydrogen affect people?
Hydrogen is non-toxic in its gaseous form. However, as a combustible gas, it can pose a fire hazard if not handled properly. Inhaling large amounts of hydrogen gas can displace oxygen in the air, leading to asphyxiation.
How is nuclear energy converted into energy people can use?
in the nuclear process of generating power immense heat is relaesed and heats water to steam and turns a turbine. this is the same basic principle for fission and fusion
Is fusion energy the same a nuclear energy?
Fusion energy is a type of nuclear energy where two light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy in the process. This process is different from traditional nuclear energy, which involves splitting heavy atomic nuclei in a process called fission.
What is the purpose of nuclear explosion?
getting lots of energy is done for peaceful reasons and kill lots of people if done in war
Is nuclear fusion dangerous?
yes because it will explode and kill people
What are the people that study fission fusion of atoms?
Particle physicists or nuclear physicists.
What is the worst thing about nuclear energy?
The worst thing about nuclear energy is the risk of accidents such as meltdowns, which can have serious environmental and human health consequences. Disposal of radioactive waste is also a major concern as it remains hazardous for thousands of years. Additionally, nuclear proliferation poses a threat to global security.
Where do people get nuclear energy?
Primarily, people get nuclear energy from the Sun, in the form of light, heat, and radiation, although the radiation is vastly attenuated by the Earth's magnetic field and by its atmosphere. In terms of nuclear power plants, we get nuclear energy from the fissioning (splitting) of atoms of (usually) Uranium-235. Each fission event results in a loss of mass that is represented by a loss of binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) that is primarily manifest as heat and radiation. That heat is carried away by the reactor coolant and generally used to flash water to steam, which then turns turbines, which then turn generators, which then produce electricity. There are two way to release the binding energy. One is the fission process just described. The other is the fusion process, where atoms are combined instead of being split, again, resulting in a loss of mass that ultimately generates heat. The Sun uses fusion. Our electric nuclear power plants use fission. Our atomic bombs use fission, and our hydrogen bombs use fission and fusion. The bombs are an uncontrolled reaction, while the Sun and our nuclear power plants are a controlled reaction. Note that we don't yet have fusion based nuclear power plants due to the technological difficulties in maintaining a controlled fusion reaction on a large scale.
What is an example of nuclear fission which is applicable in your daily life?
We are constantly bombarded by cosmic radiation from space, and background radiation from the soil. However, both are background, and we have no biological processes that depend on nuclear reactions to survive.
What wrong with nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy has the potential risks of accidents, such as meltdowns or leaks that can have severe consequences for both humans and the environment. There is also the issue of nuclear waste disposal, as it remains radioactive and hazardous for thousands of years. Additionally, nuclear energy production can be expensive and faces challenges around public perception and acceptance.
