"...Although far from final, the numbers suggest another big dip for a program that has enjoyed a roller coaster ride in recent years. In its proposed 2013 budget, DOE called for slashing spending on domestic fusion research to help pay for the increasing U.S. contribution to the international fusion experiment, ITER, in Cadarache, France..."

Frustrating. I wish everyone would be a little less concerned with their own finite lives and a little more concerned with our future as a whole. Putting all eggs into one basket isn't wise, especially if the secondary baskets cost so much less. This must be obvious to them, yet ITER's proponents will tolerate no competition.
