Just to put things in perspective:
Currently budgeted full cost of ITER, the one nuclear fusion experiment that should show to the world that Fusion is a viable source of power: somewhat more than €20billion.... let's round it up to $50billion USD, over the foreseen 35 year lifespan of ITER.

Compare with the US's annual military budget: $500 billion USD per year.

You guys could cut your military spending by 10% on ONE SINGLE YEAR and pay for the whole Fusion power research, which offers a near free, inexhaustible power source for the whole world!
