**Decades** away. It’ll be awesome once it’s built but it’s not worth planning for at the moment.
The reporting on this stuff is always garbage, even worse than reporting on “ai” or new cancer treatments.
Great to see our scientists at the cutting edge of this exciting development
Renewables are great and all but nuclear power is the way forward.
And of course…
>The UK is a participant, too. Its full involvement in ITER, however, will require first for Britain to “associate” to certain EU science programmes, something that so far has been held up by disagreements over post-Brexit trading arrangements, particularly in relation to Northern Ireland.
Why don’t BP or some of the other gas and oil companies invest in this technology? Surely moving away from gas and oil (supposedly) would mean investing heavily in a technology like this would be beneficial?
Fusion is our only hope. Gonna be a tight race between climate change and commercial fusion
Wondering how long it’ll be till Greens find a way to shit on fusion like they have fission
Excellent, in 30 years we’ll have it rolled out enmasse!
Call me when they get a net-positive energy output.
I’ve worked in nuclear power plants for a number of years and it still makes me laugh that the advancements in nuclear fusion and fission still come down to steam power and turbines.
Trillions of pounds used across the world trying to solve the best way to utilise energy, and it comes down to the age old method of boiling water so you can send that energy down a line and across the country, into your home, so you can then boil more water in a kettle.

Something sweet about it.
