Fusion is the energy source of the sun and all of the stars. • Not just limited to theoretical work, the NSTX is enabling cutting-edge research to develop fusion as a future energy source. • --- • Subscribe to Energy for regular content: http://goo.gl/Ga5lP • Like Energy on Facebook: / energygov • Follow Energy on Twitter: / energy
