With fusion in the news often, I was wondering what makes it special as opposed to simply burning hydrogen with oxygen like a fuel cell does?
Doesn’t both require the uneconomical electrolysis to source the hydrogen in the first place?

“Burning” hydrogen is just a chemical reaction. It produces some energy, yes.
Hydrogen fusion is a nuclear reaction where only hydrogen is fused together to produce quite a bit more energy.
