Oh for heavens sake.. GET OVER IT!!!

China is participating? didn't know this.

but fusion is a lot safer than fission. besides, the amount of power they're going to be getting out of this little box is going to be negligible.

Hopefully, it will change with time.

But they are already doing that in France. Maybe it IS better to put it in Japan, after all

This raises a question:

Why does Russia, who depends on oil and will probably go bankrupt when Fusion power arrives, participate in this research, while other, powerful, energy resource importing countries, like Australia, China, aren't participating?

Presumably Russia will eventually want to replace its current fission reactors with something better whilst selling their oil to other people.

Australia - energy resource importing - yes. Powerful? Compared to?

might want to duck twice.

but they are powerful. compared to the kiwis, anyway.

The presence of Russia has scientific origins; they invented the method used in this experiment, and there initial input was likely necessary. Russia participated from the origin in the early 80.

Why we're seeing any sort of "this side is to blame" in review of the politics is beyond calling someone a complete ****ing idiot. Great, US ditches France because of the war opposition - how mature. Meanwhile - CHINA, and RUSSIA support FRANCE as opposed to the US pick. Gee! I haven't seen that combination before!

Minds this biased really deserve a swift kick in the ribs and to have their fruity ass hatchbacks driven off a cliff. The BBC article mentions Canada as part of Iter, by the way. Were they not part of the vote by abstaining - or lack of proportional commitment to gain one?

europe has too many things anyway. better let asia have this reactor.

[Zylka]

Why not somewhere like Brasil? They're prime candidate for a nation just capable yet owning of nothing
