Physicists Say $15 Billion Fusion Machine Cannot Work
Original: This $15 Billion Nuclear Fusion Machine Can’t Work, Physicists Say
Physicists are arguing that a nuclear fusion project costing around $15 billion faces fundamental design problems that prevent it from achieving its goal. The claim, put forward by critics including physicist Sabine Hossenfelder, has reignited debate over whether the huge public investment in fusion energy can ever pay off, and whether the project's timeline and budget remain credible.
Why now: Criticism of a high-profile, multibillion-dollar fusion project by prominent physicists has sparked fresh debate about the viability of fusion energy.
