Fusion reactions are the exception since you're turning some mass into energy according to: E = mc^2 There's many quality videos on YouTube that can provide a better explanation than I ever could.They're not an exception to conservation of energy, it's just that matter is energy in another form. Fusion reactors just harness that energy.True, thanks for the clarification!No worries 👍
