Einstein showed that all matter is equivalent to energy, and deduced the equation E = mc2. However getting matter to give up this energy requires the right matter and the right conditions. We know there are two ways to obtain it, by fusion and by fission. Fusion is the way the stars produce energy, and this can be made to happen with light elements, isotopes of hydrogen are the easiest to activate. Fission happens with heavy elements like uranium and plutonium, and releases energy we can use in power plants.
