    France gets nuclear fusion plant



    France will get to host the project to build a 10bn-euro (£6.6bn) nuclear fusion reactor, in the face of strong competition from Japan. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (Iter) will be the most expensive joint scientific project after the International Space Station.

      I agree with Ryan here - souns like France spitting the dummy again to get their way.

      Also, as Slypie says - this is the only way forward for us for the foreseeable future in terms of energy, and I really cannot tolerate the crap arguments the Greens (whom I admire in many other ways) put up against facts like the following:


      1 kilo versus 10 tonnes. It's not hard to do the maths.
