ITER is indeed a sad joke and a dirty stain on the physics establishment.
Wouldn't it be ironic if that project was magically savaged and made
commercially useful - by the simple expedient of adding on a cheap muon source
... which of course is where the Holmlid licensees are envissioning an
opportunity? Muon catalyzed fusion could push that project from slightly above
breakeven to massively energetic.
This scenario is not a fantasy dream.
Matter of fact, it would be a surprise to me if something like this outcome
does not happen in maybe a year or so.
