Thanks for your opinions…,
I am not suggesting that fusion gets too much funding, clearly energy research should feature much higher on the list of funded projects, I do still believe that some of the big projects are white elephants.
Politicians rely on scientists to advise them on weather or not a project should get funding, and I doubt that too many politicians actually go through the science in detail and try to understand what they are approving money for, and the reason is that no one person is responsible, it’s a group decision and one can get the blame.
LIGO is one of those projects that should never have had funding, the physics was flawed to begin with, and nobody wants to admit it.
