France to Be Site of World's First Nuclear Fusion
brad writes "The New York Times (free registration) is reporting that 'France won an international competition today to be the site of the world's first nuclear fusion reactor, an estimated $12 billion project that many scientists see as essential to solving the world's future energy needs.'"
both are on the front page!
/. editors read /. ?
dont the
Can't you at least wait until the original article scrolls off the main page before you post the same article again...
How hard is it to CHECK THE MAIN PAGE BEFORE YOU POST?!

From TFA: Greenpeace, for one, stated that "at a time when it is universally recognized that we must reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, Greenpeace considers it ridiculous to use resources and billions of euros on this project." I swear, I think Greenpeace is more concerned about making sure nobody builds any new powerplants than they are about protecting the environment. They are against new coal plants with modern scrubber technology, they are against fission plants, now they are against this expiremental fusion plant. Do they realize that humanity needs energy to live and thrive? Do they realize that by not building new more efficient powerplants they are forcing people to rely on older, more polluting powerplants more heavily? It seems counterintuitive to me, it's like they would rather stick their thumb in the eye of corporations than actually help the environment.
yeah no shit, it's still even on the home page / same page as this.
go ahead mod me, but sometimes this is rediculous. Read the home page before you post something, at... least...

A quick trip to google news will show you 307 other sources of this story, which don't require registration. It seems to me like slashdot should never have to link to NYT from the main page.
I can understand if my suggestion is not taken seriously. I only hope it doesn't lead to 307 more dupes.
>not the French! These are the folks who
>built a nuke-capable reactor for Saddam
>that the Israeli Air Force had to bomb
In fact the very same France in 1959 sold the entire Dimona nuclear reactor to the zionists. The greater israel jewish hawks continue to use it to build circa 400 A- and H-bombs. With these bomb cache the zionist entity terrorizes the entire middle east and the 900 million muslim people worldwide and opresses the palestinian nation, robbing it of its motherland.
One can only hope that the Dimona reactor will also be bombed one day and peace martyr Mordechai Vanunu will get the Nobel Peace prize he deserves.
It is so disgusting when USA threatens Iran and North Korea over few if any nuclear weapons but turns the blind eye to zionist Israel and its posession of 400 nuclar bombs. Double standards in their most shameful form.
Tell me, did you ever work out what that grey stuff between your ears was for?
FUSION IS NOT FISSION. A FUSION REACTOR CANNOT GO BOOM EVEN IN THEORY.
fusing dupes would be nice too. Try paying attention to your own spelling.
To be fair, "dupe" isn't a real word either. "Dup," if you think about it, is sort of a more logical truncation of duplicate.
