      "canonical": "Fusion energy: nuclear fusion is the process by which light nuclei (deuterium+tritium) fuse to form helium, releasing enormous energy (E=mc\u00b2). It is the process powering the Sun. The fuel is virtually unlimited \u2014 deuterium from seawater, tritium bred from lithium. No CO\u2082, no chain reaction risk, rad"
