Just a document covering the US contribution to ITER

(...they make it sound like their the major contributor to the technical work!!)
The reason I post it was some of the amusing typos in it, the best one being on page 3;
"Our History of Discovery…Select Examples ; 1978 Achieved ion temperatures in excess of 58,000,000½C—the minimum required for a self-sustaining fusion reaction."
I never realised US fusion research was based on such accurate research!!

Re: A document on fusion.doe.gov
Another super flashy fusion item. Too bad the timetable will most likely slip due to hard times. But, hey, we've seen all that before in th' fusion biz..... Right guys?
Besides, even their own blurb allows for the next step spherical torus (NSST) to follow ITER and then on and on as part of a forecast 20 year project. They are certainly out to keep this flapjack on the gridle, no matter what.
Hey, what happened to the hydrogen based economy? What about the E85 alcohol fuel in the "flex fueled" cars? Fuel cells? It was all so grand.
I am suffereing from techno overload now from all the non-happening wonderful future energy sources.

Fusion is the energy of the future....and it always will be
The more complex the idea put forward by the poor amateur, the more likely it will never see embodiment
