Type of Reaction

Nuclear reaction will take place through 'fusion' using lasers instead of fission 

More Energy

Fusion experiments released more energy than pumped in known as ignition or energy gain

Clean Energy

The reactions release no greenhouse gases or radioactive by-products

Better than fossil fuels 

The energy provided by a single gram of this fusion fuel is equal to the energy of 10 kg of fossil fuel

Expensive

However, the cost of the whole reaction is quite high with equipment costing thousands of dollars

Hurdle

Another hurdle is getting the energy out of the system and sustaining it long enough for its use
