Fusion Plasma Plant in The Future

Posted by Hemos on from the have-to-do-something-different dept.

NightWulf writes "The BBC reports that Europe and Japan are currently looking to host a new JET power plant. This new plant creates plasma, which is akin to creating a star on Earth. Interesting to note that 1kg of fusion fuel would produce the same amount of energy as 10,000,000kg of fossil fuels."

    In the same sense, my logging on to slashdot today is akin to designing TCP/IP.

    Slashdot has a strange fascination with potential energy solutions. Ah...so much energy wasted thinking about potential energy.

    Only on slashdot can you be called an idiot if you don't know anything about nuclear fusion.

    BUT: We are now only nine turns away from being able to BUILD a fusion plant. Next I think we should go after 'Future Technology I'.
