Instructions
US  scientists  announced  a  breakthrough  on  fusion  energy  on  Tuesday  (Dec  13),  potentially  a  step  toward  one  day  harnessing  the  process  that  fires  the  sun  to  generate  carbon-free  electricity  as  the  world    with  climate  change.  So,  will  fusion  help  fight  climate  change?  Potentially.  Besides  vastly    up  the  energy  from  fusion  reactions,  scientists  need  to  produce  them  multiple  times  per  second  on  a  constant  basis.  Scaling  that  process  up  to  a  power  plant  and  building  plants  big  enough  to  cover  a  significant  chunk  of  the  world's  growing  electricity  demand  would  take    efforts  requiring  materials,  land  and  clear  regulations  for  industry.  Politicians  supporting  the  existing  fuels  and  infrastructure  may  be    to  rapid  change.  As  the  quest  for  fusion  energy  develops  over  a  decade  or  potentially  much  longer,  countries  should  continue  aggressive  moves  into  wind  and  solar  power,  energy  storage,  including  batteries,  next  generation  fission  power  and  other  alternatives  to  reduce    on  fossil  fuels,  scientists  and  environmentalists  say.
