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
Physicists, including science commentator Sabine Hossenfelder, are arguing that a $15 billion nuclear fusion machine faces fundamental problems that prevent it from achieving its goal. The claim, spread through science communication channels, casts doubt on one of the most expensive energy research projects, prompting debate among fusion researchers and supporters about whether the criticism is fair.
Why now: The criticism challenges the credibility of a flagship, high-cost fusion project, drawing attention amid ongoing debate over fusion energy's viability.
