Let that sink in. Yes, ITER it self isn't ever going to be producing that energy but it is a step in the direction of that end goal.
How can 5 billion dollars extra be considered too much for that end goal? Especially given everything that has happened on the world stage in the last 4 years, and had dramatic effects on the project. Not to mention that the collective yearly budgets of the nations involved is higher than 10 trillion dollars.
Unlimited clean energy.
A personal view on this is also that a rising tide lifts all boats. If the slow moving, very expensive international government project causes more nimble private enterprise to see a way to get there first and get a slice of the budget cake then great!
Unlimited clean energy. It is worth it, IF we can get there.
Multiple sized eggs in different baskets is the best plan.
