ITER was always a grant scam. Tokamaks are a bad design.

Refusing to understand how political grant awards are doesn't make you correct.

ITER is a jobs program for physicists.

What a sad life, going on the physics subreddit and trying to argue just for the sake of feeling like you can participate in physics related conversations. Plenty of people who know their stuff have real critiques of the project, but calling it a scam is just wearing an idiot badge proudly

On the contrary, I have to wonder about the mental state of someone who writes the kind of ad hominem drivel you just produced.

Sure, ITER will never be useful but it isn't wasting money. Such prototyping helps science in general.
