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.

Were we not originally in ITER in the early '90s?

I've followed it a little, but probably not as much as you. It's a fascinating concept. (Old college physics)
