Even the most advanced chemical reactions, like combusting thermite, shown here, generate about a million times less energy per unit mass compared to a nuclear reaction.It might seem that the fossil fuel problem is obvious: we cannot simply generate more coal, oil, or natural gas when our present supplies run out. We've been burning pretty much every drop we can get our hands on for going on three centuries now, and this problem is going to get worse.

The sheer magnitude of the battery storage capabilities required to power even a single city during insufficient energy-generation conditions is daunting.
