Nuclear Fusion: Is it the answer?

In the world our natural resources for energy are running out. Soon we won't have enough oil, or gas to create energy. So what we want to know is, "Is Nuclear Fusion the way to go?"
       After watching a TED talk in class and reading the article "A STAR IN A BOTTLE", we learned how fast our natural resources are going. And that one of the best ways to get 30,000,000 years of lasting energy is to use Nuclear Fusion. We, (Gwen and I) believe that Nuclear Fusion is the way to go. There is already a plan to create a very complex machine called ITER. ITER stands for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. ITER is planned to be switched on in about a decade. It would create energy that is Carbon free, pollution free, and have very little radioactive waste. Although the project is so expensive it needs its own currency, if it solved the worlds energy problems it would be worth it. So for us yes, we do believe that Nuclear Fusion is the way to go.

  1. GM, great image and nice work on including your source for that material. I wonder if you will feel the same way after you complete your research into other future possibilities for energy? Whatever you decide to argue, be sure you back it up with evidence.
