the international fusion reactor being built in France, will stand 10 stories tall, weigh three times as much as the Eiffel Tower, and cost its seven international partners $18 billion or more. The result of decades of planning, ITER will not produce fusion energy until 2027 at the earliest.

Ah yes, moving right along.......................Why the breathless article then?

Why not get back to the population when the damn thing works and produces net energy? Don't the wonks behind this stuff think enough is enough with the announcements of new breakthroughs?

It has been my understanding that all our fusion plants use more energy than they produce. If this is still the case, why waste the money on a huge plant; do smaller experimental ones to try to figure it out first.
