At the present time our main sources of energy are fossil fuels and nuclear power. These are both very useful and convenient, but they also present a variety of environmental, as well as economic and political problems. Fossil fuels release carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. The massive importation of fossil fuels into the US from the Middle East in particular, creates economic and political problems as well. Nuclear power has already been involved in a series of catastrophic accidents (Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima) and it would be foolish to imagine that no more such accidents can ever happen. Radiation is very dangerous. So, we would like to have better sources of energy which avoid those types of problems.
