The most likely fuel for fusion on earth is a mixture of deuterium and tritium (both isotopes of hydrogen)
Nuclear fusion
Nuclear Fusion Reaction
Fusion reactions release tremendous energy
At present it is only used for experiments, to try to develop a reliable power source
The source of energy in almost all nuclear power plants is fission or the splitting of the atom. There are a few experimental fusion power plants, (or the joining of the atoms), but, there are few of them, since the energy needed to produce fusion is extremly high, and only last a few seconds. Around 99.99% of nuclear power plants are fission power plants.
Sort of. Fusion energy is the power of the sun and hydrogen bombs, lots of people would like to use it as a local power source, but so far we've only figured out hot to use fission power in power plants.
I'm sorry, but that information has been classified as "Confidential" by Dr. Emmet Brown. The only known additional component is a DeLorean DMC-12 sports car, and a power source capable of delivering 1.21 gigawatts. One convenient such power source is a "Mr. Fusion" personal fusion generator, manufactured by Fusion Industries, Ltd. Unfortunately, since it is manufactured in the future, you will have to find an alternate power source to obtain it. Any convenient lightning bolt should do.
Nuclear fusion is the source of the sun's energy.
Fusion power is the power generated by the nuclear fusion processes. Fusion power is a primary area of researc in plasma physics. For example, the sun is a natural fusion reactor.

hydrogen fusion
On earth, for power production, the most likely fuel source will be hydrogen isotopes, not helium 3
