I'm surprised she didn't attend the press event to apologize for spending the money and vow to dismantle the project to spend the budget money on refugees. There is always next year.

@ Daishi I'd put bankers' bonuses first on the list of targets for our opprobrium ahead of this project, which might actually be of value to society.

Why am I not surprised that the Germans have so far made the biggest steps forward in Fusion Reaction science!

Guys, lets not slip into politics while discussing the scientific achievements of this project. That can be discuss any many other places then this post.

Throw some nickel nanoparticles into the plasma and see if they make useful amounts of energy!

Awesome!

I think ITER is supposed to run in 30 minute pulses.

This thing has huge potential and the Germans should be applauded for pushing this. It if comes true then it will literally change the world to a better place.
@Daishi and @Mel Tisdale. You guys should be ashamed of yourself for dragging something so big into petty BS.

This is the next future, Germany is not alone, in the US are many projects tu have fusion energy.

Here, government and high-energy physics have successfully competed to fit in an area smaller than a bathhouse and drown...their previous step. Keep shipping, Stellaratornauts. Represent forward, pols.
