So they just need to build the same thing, but make it gigantic in size? Why is it not yet done?

- willis936 5y agoIt is very expensive to do. HTS was known but not practical when ITER was planned, but it's almost done. ITER is almost large enough to be an LTS-based power plant. ITER will still produce a lot of useful science, but there is a now a potential class of mid-scale HTS machines that would help develop plasma models. These iterations seem frustrating and time consuming, but their results are lowering the cost of a hypothetical power plant until one day maybe society will decide they're worth making for power generation.
