The ITER nuclear fusion reactor is preparing to leave
Getting reactions from nuclear fusion that give more energy than you put into the system can be the final answer to the climate crisis.

Five years is a long time: enough for the Sun to radiate the energy equivalent to all our reserves of oil, coal and natural gas and enough for the world to revolutionize energy in at least 5 ways. Here are 5 energy revolutions that we will see between now and 2024.
Five years of delay in completing the Iter experimental reactor were today announced. It is a huge machine designed to demonstrate the feasibility of nuclear fusion. But it cannot be completed before the end of 2025 and with an extra 4 billion euros in funding from member countries. The project aims to reproduce on Earth the thermonuclear reactions that take place in the core of stars. It officially started in 2005, but soon the… Read more
