It may be the most ambitious scientific venture ever: a global collaboration to create an unlimited supply of clean, cheap energy. And this week it took a crucial step forward. An idyllic hilltop setting in the Cadarache forest of Provence in the south of France has become the site of an ambitious attempt to harness the nuclear power of the sun and stars.
It is the place where 34 nations representing more than half the world’s population have joined forces in the biggest scientific collaboration on the planet – only the International Space Station is bigger.
The international nuclear fusion project – known as Iter, meaning “the way” in Latin – is designed to demonstrate a new kind of nuclear reactor capable of producing unlimited supplies of cheap, clean, safe and sustainable electricity from atomic fusion.
If Iter demonstrates that it is possible to build commercially-viable fusion reactors then it could become the experiment that saved the world in a century threatened by climate change and an expected three-fold increase in global energy demand.
This week the project gained final approval for the design of the most technically challenging component – the fusion reactor’s “blanket” that will handle the super-heated nuclear fuel……To Read More….
My Take –I wouldn’t toss out any petroleum stock as of yet though. The reality of this seems slim given the current understanding and technology; however I think the money spent on this is of far more value than these idiotic green initiatives, which have proven to be failures since the 1970’s…and we still won’t learn. As for being mankind’s salvation to prevent global warming….poppy cock. Do it because its value can be clearly shown economically, not for the lies promoting Anthropogenic Global Warming, which is a fraud. I’m willing to bet the greenies will be all excited about this….at least until someone actually finds out how to do it….then they will go insane demanding it be abandoned. How do I know that? Because that has been their pattern forever, and they do not want mankind to have cheap inexhaustible energy.
