On: ITER is a showcase for the drawbacks of fusion energy

[XorNot]

Doesn't this then refute your original point? ITER is expensive because we're developing the tech to build fusion power.

The underscoring point of people talking about cost is simply: do you have a better way?

Before the LHC came online there were people claiming that after the magnet quench event it cost too much and we should cancel the project.
