It's fair to ask whether fusion energy will be economical/competitive. The progress we've made nailing the physics and engineering fundamentals is what makes that discussion about commercialization worthwhile.

How is ITER fusion reactor manufactured? Far more complex than it sounds. 🔧⚛️
Every Member procures components: Europe ~45.5%, China/India/Japan/Korea/Russia/US ~9.1% each. 90% arrives "in-kind" (real components, not money). Vacuum vessel: Europe+Korea. Solenoid: US+Japan. Magnets: 6 Members.
140+ agreements, 3,300+ contracts, factories on 3 continents.

EPS President José María de Teresa and Secretary General Anne Pawsey met Marc Lachaise, Director of Fusion for Energy, at the Fusion for Energy HQ in Barcelona. Stimulating discussions explored physicists’ role in fusion, the value of science communication, promoting equality & diversity in physics and engineering, and the impact of materials science and AI. Thanks to Alfredo Portone for organising the inspiring visit. #FusionEnergy #Physics #ScienceCommunication #DiversityInSTEM #AI

Helion Energy Is Building A Fusion Power Plant. Can Its Technology Deliver?
Helion Just east of Malaga, Wash. a farm town in apple country the Columbia River runs between basalt bluffs past the Rock Island Dam, which has turned water into electricity for the Pacific Northwest since 1933. Now, on a flat stretch of land nearby, a very different kind of power project is taking shape. Helion Energy, one of the world’s best-funded private fusion companies, is building what it calls Orion: A machine it says will become the world’s first fusion power plant.....Continue […] -

the desire to tech-fix structural problems is so depressing.
I get it. Scientists are nerds, and if you have the luck that your field of research receives billions of funding, who are you to say no?But the policy makers responsible for the allocation of these funds... don't these people, like... inform themselves?
Even IF fusion reactors could be developed in a reasonable timespan (and the billions required for research would not just diverti much needed investments into clean and decentralized energy):
A lot of energy is by no means a solution to the transgression of the multiple planetary boundaries (nor does it help against the rise of fascism we are experiencing).
So, I let you here with this nice figure, you all can draw your own conclusions.
