actually you are very very wrong, there are many nuclear fusion reactors in universities around the USA and the very first fully functional nuclear fusion power plant to be used for a countries energy grid is being built in France by the French and Japanesse. There is also a new kind of cold fusion being tested (not done the way first thought) that shows alot of potential and a google on the subject will bring them up.
No dude, we are both wrong, but u did alert me to a new fact. So, thanks.
And, for everyone's info... hydrogen fusion is what the sun is. We don't have that technology.
ITER is an international tokamak (magnetic confinement fusion) experiment, planned to be built in France and designed to show the scientific and technological feasibility of a full-scale fusion power reactor. It builds upon research conducted on devices such as TFTR, JET, JT-60, and T-15, and will be considerably larger than any of them. The program is anticipated to last for 30 years - 10 years for construction, and 20 years of operation - and cost approximately â?¬10 billion. After many years of deliberation, the participants announced in June, 2005 that ITER will be built in Cadarache, France.
The name is an acronym; ITER stands for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor and 'iter' means 'the way' in Latin. The double meaning allows the name to be used as a reference to ITER being the way to harnessing nuclear fusion as a peaceful power source.
ITER is intended to be an experimental step between today's studies of plasma physics and future electricity-producing fusion power plants. It is technically ready to start construction and the first plasma operation is expected in 2015.
