$8 billion for one of these, and the net output is 450 megawatts. That's about half a million homes (or one if it's Al Gore). So that's about $3,200 per home every year if they want to break even after 5 years, say (or a lot more for Al Gore, but he can afford it). Hopefully the cost will come down after the initial research; or with things going the way they are, they could be built in China and we could export our energy from them. Just kidding, hopefully.

Good pic. Thanks.

See how large that ITER is? It’s bigger than City Hall.
