What is the biggest source on energy on earth?
The sun, followed by fossil fuels and different kinds of materials. Fusion would be the next step in a source of energy for humans to use, but all methods used for fusion so far have failed to give a significant amount of energy output.

Why would a fusion reactor that needs more energy than it produces not be much use?
A fusion reactor that needs more energy than it produces would not be economically viable or practical for power generation. The purpose of building a fusion reactor is to generate more energy than it consumes, in order to provide a sustainable and efficient source of power. If it cannot achieve this goal, it defeats the purpose of investing in fusion energy technology.
Do you think nuclear fusion is feasable and would you say MCF or ICF?
Yes, nuclear fusion is feasible as a potential source of clean energy. Both magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) and inertial confinement fusion (ICF) are promising approaches being researched to achieve practical fusion energy production, each with its own advantages and challenges. Continued advancements in these technologies have the potential to make fusion energy a reality in the future.
Can nuclear fusion continue indefinitely?
Nuclear fusion, like any process of producing power, uses fuel in doing so. In the stars, where fusion is the source of their energy, hydrogen is being used in fusion, producing helium plus energy. In any star the supply of hydrogen will eventually run out and the star will die, but its lifetime will be immensely long, many billions of years. On earth, if fusion can be made to work, it will use isotopes of hydrogen which are abundant, so as a source of energy it would last for many thousands of years.
Many scientists believe that nuclear fusion will become a possible energy source within the next 10 years What resource would be most effective in tracking the progress of this energy source?
Tracking the progress of nuclear fusion as an energy source can be effectively done through reputable scientific journals, websites of research organizations like ITER or the National Ignition Facility, and attending conferences or webinars focused on nuclear fusion technology. Staying updated with official announcements and publications from organizations leading fusion research is key to monitoring its advancements.
What type of nuclear reaction can produce a limitless source of energy?
You probably mean nuclear fusion, using heavy water found in the oceans. This would not be absolutely limitless, ie not strictly renewable, but as far as human existence goes it would be virtually limitless
If nuclear fusion was possible how many KWH would it produce?
A nuclear fusion reaction has the potential to produce large amounts of energy, far exceeding current nuclear fission reactions. It is estimated that a single fusion reaction could potentially yield millions of kilowatt-hours of energy. However, practical implementation and scaling of fusion as a viable energy source on a commercial scale is still a significant challenge.
What kind of energy would be nuclear fusion?
Nuclear energy, which is a kind of potential energy.
What is the major problem with fusion reactions as an energy source?
Problem on nuclear fusion is upon confinement of reaction in earth atmosphere. Nuclear fusion required very high temperature to initiate the reaction. Sustaining reaction is not easy. It is likely the earliest nuclear fusion will be available commercially by 2050. It is a little far future for the current energy crisis would reach it peak around 2040.
Where would you find a nuclear fusion reaction occurring?
Nuclear fusion reactions occur in the core of stars, including the Sun, where high pressure and temperature conditions allow hydrogen atoms to combine and release a tremendous amount of energy. Scientists are also working on creating controlled nuclear fusion in experimental reactors on Earth as a potential source of sustainable energy.
Would a fully oxidized or fully reduced molecule be a better cellular energy source?
A fully reduced molecule would be a better cellular energy source because it has more energy stored in its chemical bonds compared to a fully oxidized molecule. Oxidation leads to the release of energy stored in chemical bonds, while reduction stores energy in those bonds.
