- The energy of stars and galaxies is normally based on nuclear reactions, and there is no safe and effective way to harness this power yet
- Stars and galaxies are normally powered by nuclear processes, including fusion and fission
- Advances in technology and science in the future may very well find a safe and efficient way to harness the energy of stars without all of the risks currently involved
There are a number nuclear power plants located around the world and in operation, and France receives a significant amount of power that the country needs from these plants, which also use the energy of stars. In the past, there have been a number of mishaps and accidents at nuclear power plants around the world, and these have caused large numbers of deaths and injuries, and environmental damage that is still present in some places like Chernobyl. Using the energy of stars may include future discoveries other methods and processes besides nuclear fusion and fission, but until space and other galaxies are reached and explored these alternative energy sources have not been discovered yet. Harnessing the energy of stars and galaxies will probably be possible in a safe and effective method at some point in the future, but because of the high risks, and effects that may last thousands of years when leaks or explosions occur, this power source is not an ideal option for large scale global use. Nuclear material which is used can be stolen, and used by terrorists to make weapons or threaten populations. The destructive nature of nuclear material means that the use of it must be closely monitored and regulated, and there is no guaranteed safe way to utilize this material to generate all of the power needed.
