Fusion power
Fusion power is the extraction of energy in some useful form from a nuclear fusion reaction, that is, by combining two light atomic nuclei into a heavier one with the release of energy.

While experiments continue, no actual fusion power generators exist yet that would generate more energy over extended periods of time than needed to drive the experiment. In June 2005, it was announced that the first experimental reactor supposed to do this, ITER, will be built in Cadarache in Southern France.
