NASA’s New Shortcut to Fusion Power

Cars That Think

Physicists first suspected more than a century ago that the fusing of hydrogen into helium powers the sun. Fission waste by-products need to be disposed of safely, and they remain radioactive for thousands of years. But these generators convert heat to electricity at roughly 7.5 percent efficiency. One promising alternative is.

Install photovoltaic capacity to generate “green” hydrogen: Install multiple PV modules at its Central Maintenance Facility in Hayward. Combined with AC Transit’s already-installed solar capacity, this solar installation will produce the renewable electricity equivalent to what will be required to produce 180 kg/day of green hydrogen.
