Christmas Night
Twas the night before Christmas when all through the houseNo electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged in by the chimney with careWith the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

Resonant fusion model has been justified by six fusion reaction data. This resonant fusion model predicts that the fusion products should be dependent on the resonance energy. When resonance energy level is near thermal energy, this resonance would pick up only the fusion channel with no neutron or gamma emission. Thus we might expect that a resonance energy level for fusion reaction near zero energy would imply a clean nuclear energy using hydrogen and condensed matter nuclear science.
