Fusion: heat and electricity priority. Three principal schemes of fusion for commercial use: “tokamak” (electromagnetic confinement), laser fusion (pulsed working process), electrostatic confinement (Bussard’s scheme). Forecasts’ reliability. Hydrogen application in case of the fusion positive results: air, ocean and ground transport. The use of hydrogen for generation of heat and electricity in case of the fusion failure. World energy production and consumption energy leaders.
