Among the options listed, **nuclear fusion** is generally considered to have the potential to produce the most electricity compared to the energy that is applied to it, particularly when considering the principles of energy density.
Nuclear fusion, the process that powers the sun, can release millions of times more energy than burning fossil fuels or biomass for the same amount of fuel. When it becomes commercially viable, fusion has the potential to provide vast amounts of energy with limited environmental impact.
Nuclear fission (which is currently used in nuclear power plants) also produces a significant amount of energy from a relatively small amount of fuel, but fusion is expected to surpass it significantly in terms of energy output versus input once technological challenges are overcome.
Wind energy can generate substantial electricity but typically requires more infrastructure and land compared to the energy input, while biomass has a relatively lower energy return on investment compared to fusion and fission.
In summary, while all these options can produce electricity, **nuclear fusion** has the highest theoretical potential for energy output relative to energy input.
