Fusion produces large amounts of energy, and the fuel is found on Earth.

Riddle · Answer 2

Fusion is the combination of particles to produce another entity with less mass compared to the individual nuclei. Hence, it is the process which yields large amounts of energy after the collision of light-weight elements. Examples of this process include deuterium-tritium fusion and the formation of stars. The answer is the second statement.
