  22. The Answer The need for an alternative energy is absolute. With the threat of global climate change constantly shaping and destroying the world, and our source of energy being depleted at an alarming rate, we need a source of energy that can supply a large amount of consistent, clean electricity while not contributing to the damage of our atmosphere. Alternative energies like solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, and nuclear fissions are all good temporary solutions for providing energy for unique situations, but these technologies don’t hold the potential to be permanent and universal solution. So is nuclear fusion this perfect solution? Well we know that fusion technology has the potential to make seemingly limitless energy, demonstrated by the sun, and the fuel is easily acquired and abundant due to the fact that it is made from water. But the truth is that we do not have the technology to harness the full potential of fusion. The NIF breakthrough is a major milestone in fusion, showing that it is possible to use our technology for energy production; and with the ITER nearing completion, there is a promising future for the development of fusion technology. I believe with more funding and research, fusion could be the answer to the energy crisis, not just for the U.S., but also the world.
