Summary
Modern Nuclear power plants are powered by fission. Fission (shown below) is the process of taking an unstable uranium and shooting a neutron at it. Then the uranium atom splits releasing energy and more neutrons, etc. But this is very wasteful. They can only explode about 2% of the uranium fuel, leaving 98% to be buried underground for thousands of years. But there is another, new way, (shown on the left) that is the opposite reaction. This is called fusion. That is is how the sun works.

I used evidence to defend my explanation. I answered the question "is Nuclear power the future?" providing the facts that it is a lot more space and cost efficient that every as evidence. Making these also provide jobs that boost the economy. When you here nuclear power plant, there is an almost certain chance you are thinking of the picture on the left. Did you know that 13,000 people die every year from fossil fuel burning and air pollution? That, added up is more people than have ever died from anything nuclear. From chernobyl to hiroshima.

I could use this technology to "take over the world" by spreading awareness of how amazing fusion is. Then people can sponsor the building of plants. Then a lot of places would build these power plants. This could stop or at least slow down global warming by a lot. That is how I would take over the world using that technology.
