370M sounds cheap actually. This would probably be billions for the same in the US.

  Well, the €370 million is (iirc) only the cost of the parts. The total expenses (including personnel cost) for construction are €1.06 billion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendelstein_7-X#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendelstein_7-X#History)

    Funny how this is roughly how much it costs to design a new car model.

      Still a factor of 3-4 within the cost of setting up a semiconductor fab. And a factor of 66 within the valuation of Uber :)

        Apples and oranges, but I get your point.

    So - half a mile of subway extension in metropolitan area ... still cheap.
