Chinese government sponsored research institute Hefei Institutes of Physical Science is developing technology to generate clean energy from deuterium in seawater through nuclear fusion. One liter of sea water would potentially produce the energy equivalent to 300 liters of gasoline. A critical part to the project’s success is developing a device capable of withstanding temperatures as high as 100 million degrees Celcius. If the claims are verified by the scientific community, this technological breakthrough could be a tremendous step in reducing dependence on pollution generating coal and oil energy.

I think is possible to create a forced field which will be able to control substances having high temperature like indicated in the article above, even during a small period. That is why nhis project might be realized in the future
