Summary
Now, the clean energy supply is one of the major invention in the world. Most of the invention of new energy is so costly that it is too far that the energy is used practically. However, a new energy is attracted from all over the world. The company, which names General Fusion, is located in the suburb of Vancouver, British Columbia. Michel Laberge is president and chief technology officer in the company. The cue which he starts the invention is that when he participated a competition, he could beat any other wealthy companies with the very limited budget. The triumph tempts him and decides to devote the invention of the new energy. His fields of expertise is fusion energy, so he tries to invent the new fusion energy.
His goal is that he makes a small sun. The process is very simple. When 2 atoms fuse together and became one large, heavy atom, the atom produce a large amount of energy which temperature is 150,000,000 degrees Celsius. The cost to be produced such energy is much cheaper than any other invention of the new energies, and there is no risk to jeopardize the Earth. He thinks the success is 60% so far, but many investors has already supported his invention. He believes he can be one of the people who can save the earth.
My opinion
I do not write the process in detail on the above, but it seems to be simple to be produced such a big energy. So, I expect the new energy can be produced absolutely. On the other hand, I wonder the energy might be used to make horrible weapons after the invention.

A number of scientists and energy companies have been trying to find a new source of energy for years. Although, I think we already have clean, permanent energy sources like solar, tidal, and geothermal energy. All we need to is just to build solid infrastructure and to modify laws and regulations. Then, more people will consider using alternative energies and invest in producing them.
