I've been following our fusion program for several years now. including ITER. The reason is that they're at the "burning plasma" stage, which means that they now need to investigate how the plasma behaves when it's over the break-even point--when the energy from the fusion is keeping the plasma heated more than the energy from the electrical grid. That is, more energy coming out than going in. I read a report from some scientists last year and everyone is unanimous; this is the next step in the research chain, and it's absolutely necessary.

The next thing you know, we'll be told we can just pop some food into a container and bombard it with some kind of waves, using no gas or heat. Just silly!(/humor)

This is the project the president should have touted in his SOTUS, not the hydrogen car.

"Science in the 21st Century is often a global effort," Abraham said. "Time and again, homegrown scientific discoveries turn out to be not so homegrown after all. Often, international cooperation is indispensable to achieving results."Typical "let somebody else lead the way" globalist doubletalk.

Fuel cells for cars; fusion for the power grid.
