It’s an interesting thought that practically all life on Earth is possible thanks to a giant fusion reactor. Plants convert light from hydrogen fusion into energy to grow, only to eventually be eaten by other life forms. Our solar panels and wind turbines all depend on atomic energy. Even fossil fuels, stored carbon from past life that humans now exploit, had to take in sunlight to grow and reproduce. Waves, tornadoes, the rain that feeds our crops, all weather phenomena can be traced back to the heat of the sun.
Next time you take your clothes outside to dry on the sun or eat a fruit salad, thank nuclear fusion.
