Speculate about some worldwide changes likely to follow the advent of successful fusion reactors. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of electricity coming from a large central power station versus a network of many smaller solar-based stations owned and operated by individuals.

Answer:

Nuclear reaction is the disintegration or integration of nucleus or nuclei of an atom, to produce a different nuclei or nucleus, thereby given out a large amount of heat energy. The energy been extracted from this reaction are very much.

At a successful fusion reaction, the world will have more better opportunity to preserve it's natural resources, as they will be enough energy to produce electricity, cooking, industrial power, and many more. It will also reduce spending, as energy from fusion reaction are not too expensive in obtaining, when compared to energy from natural resources.

ADVANTAGES OF USING CENTRAL POWER STATION THAN SMALLER SOLAR BASED STATION.

1) Central power stations are reliable, because of the abundance of natural resources been used to produce the electricity. Solar based station are not reliable because during winter, when the sun is hardly seen, they will not be enough resource to produce electricity.

2) Central power stations are very efficient because they produce a stable electricity power, while the smaller solar stations are not efficient, because the amount of power produced is dependent on the amount of solar energy it has stored.

DISADVANTAGES OF USING CENTRAL POWER STATION THAN SMALLER SOLAR-BASED STATION.

1) Central power stations causes pollution, and green house effect, because the natural gas been used to produce the electricity causes pollution and green house effect during venting. While smaller solar-based station are pollution free and does not cause green house effect, because it only need sun to store it's charge.

2) Central power station are more dangerous for people to work, as risk of being electrocuted is high. Smaller-based solar stations has less risk, as the power been stored from the sun requires less complex wiring.

3) Central power stations are more expensive to produce and requires much land space. While smaller solar-based station are less expensive, and requires little land space.
