Hi,
I have heard that fusion can generate power and potentially make breeder reactors obsolete; but to even bring atoms close enough to fuse, wouldn't take a significant amount of energy in the first place? I feel like we are allotting high voltage toward fusion and getting a lesser voltage from the output. I have also heard that fusion is a way to produce neutrons, but does not mixing beryllium and americium do the same?
