I dispute the point that nuclear energy is 'clean' and 'cost-effective'. As I recall, when we first harnessed nuclear power it was to drop an atom bomb on a civilian population, not to save the environment. However, you must admit, the victors are never tried for war crimes.

About This Quote

In a recent International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) summit in Cadarache, France, the project’s leaders discussed the first step towards making an experimental reactor design that will be key to the next generation of nuclear fusion reactors. The first step towards making this reactor is called ITER. It is made up of two parts: a core and a shell. The core contains the temperature-confining plasma.

We all know that this is just another word for “plasma.” Plasmas are made up of ions and electrons that are not bound together by solid matter, but by their own electromagnetic charge. When you put an electric current into a plasma, it will become hot and start to move around the surface of the charged particles. The shell of the ITER reactor is designed to contain these moving plasma particles without letting them out into space, where they could collide with other atoms and cause more damage.
