Daily reminder that commercially practical fusion power may not happen in our generation, in spite of such advances, because it's so criminally underfunded.

If I could magically change one major thing about government policy, it would be to abolish the EU's ridiculous and often perverse CAP subsidy incentives and give ALL the money to ITER and related projects instead.

How/why did they give such fine-grained estimates for yearly budget fluctuations in the 1976 report?

ITER a shit. ITER is a giant fucking money pit and make work project that's already been proved not to work. The US government should divest from ITER and throw its funding at Polywell and Lerner's Focus Fusion project.

The concept behind the ITER project has been proven to work you dense faglord.
If it wasn't for the lack of motivation from those useless retarded politicians, we'd be already harnessing the power of nuclear fussion and building other fucking tokamaks.
