Fusion powers the sun and the stars, where immense forces compress and heat hydrogen plasma, fusing it into helium and releasing enormous amounts of energy. Commercial systems seek to replicate this fusion process, but need to create the pressure and heat by means other than gravity.
Fusion fuel has an energy density that is millions of times greater than fossil fuels.
