Physicists Say $15 Billion Fusion Machine Cannot Work
Original: This $15 Billion Nuclear Fusion Machine Can’t Work, Physicists Say. Via @sabinehossenfelder for @sciencewtg #Science #Ph
Physicist and science commentator Sabine Hossenfelder is circulating a claim that a nuclear fusion project costing around $15 billion is fundamentally unable to achieve its goal, citing criticism from physicists. The argument has drawn attention in science discussion circles, adding to ongoing debate about whether the world's biggest fusion investments can deliver practical, net-energy fusion power.
Why now: Ongoing public debate over whether multibillion-dollar nuclear fusion projects can realistically achieve net energy gain
