France Beats Out Japan for Fusion Power Plant
Fusion has always been called the energy of the future because it was always in the future and never in the present.
France got the go ahead to build the plant – called creating a star on earth.
The European Union, the United States, Russia, Japan, South Korea and China are all behind the project.
When Russia and China gave their support to France, Japan withdrew its bid.
For its part, Japan will receive 20% of the project’s research posts while providing only 10% of the expenses.
The gracious losers – "We believe that the Iter project should start as soon as possible for the sake of mankind’s future," said Nariaki Nakayama, Japan’s science minister.
The price tag for this star is $13 billion (10 billion euro).
The location – Cadarache, France.
Is this $10 billion well spent or can you think of better ways to use it?

I thought your readers would be interested in looking at these energy technologies:
Aneutronic Fusion: Here I am not talking about the big science ITER project taking thirty years, but the several small alternative plasma fusion efforts.
There are three companies pursuing hydrogen-boron plasma toroid fusion, Paul Koloc, Prometheus II, Eric Lerner, Focus Fusion and Clint Seward of Electron Power Systems
Vincent Page (a technology officer at GE!!) gave a presentation at the 05 6th symposium on current trends in international fusion research , which high lights the need to fully fund three different approaches to P-B11 fusion
He quotes costs and time to development of P-B11 Fusion as tens of million $, and years verses the many decades and ten Billion plus $ projected for ITER and other “Big” science efforts.
And:
Should Google go nuclear

If anyone could make the Fusor work it probably would be Google.

The Navy Heats up “Cold Fusion” with Use of CR-39 Detectors in LENR Experiment:
Extraordinary Evidence – “Cold Fusion”
The field of low energy nuclear reactions, historically known as cold fusion, has never had simple physical evidence of the claimed nuclear processes to physically place in the hands of doubters.
Until now.
Scientists at the U.S. Navy’s San Diego SPAWAR Systems Center have produced something unique in the 17-year history of the scientific drama historically known as cold fusion: simple, portable, highly repeatable, unambiguous, and permanent physical evidence of nuclear events using detectors that have a long track record of reliability and acceptance among nuclear physicists.
Using a unique experimental method called co-deposition, combined with the application of external electric and magnetic fields, and recording the results with standard nuclear-industry detectors, researchers have produced what may be the most convincing evidence yet in the pursuit of proof of low energy nuclear reactions.
