So I was reading the following article on the Beeb: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3993339.stm
It made me wonder. Fusion power is often hailed as the "cleanest" source of potential energy being looked at to supply future energy needs. Everyone knows it works by fusing hydrogen into helium + energy. so the result is a bunch of helium floating in the chamber. Presumably this can be fused as well, but how far would such reactors fuse to before it became impractical? Would be be trading an atmosphere of carbon-based atoms for a soil full of them instead? Or will we have a glut of iron. I'm probably not understanding the scale of things , but it still seems like there will be some sort of "waste" even if it isn't radioactive or directly destructive to the environment...
