Physicists Say $15 Billion Fusion Machine Cannot Work

Original: This $15 Billion Nuclear Fusion Machine Can’t Work, Physicists Say

Physicists are publicly arguing that a roughly $15 billion nuclear fusion machine is fundamentally unable to achieve its goal, according to commentary drawing wide attention online. The claim has sparked debate among fusion researchers and science communicators about whether the project's design can ever deliver viable fusion energy, and whether the enormous public investment is justified given the criticism.

Why now: Skeptical claims by physicists about a multi-billion-dollar flagship fusion project challenge expectations for a future clean-energy breakthrough.
