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."

    Nothing like a "meltdown" can occur in modern fission reactors either, but that doesn't stop fools from pontificating on the subject.

    This could be a useful technology, please, please, please, nobody tell the christians about it.
