A Clean Energy Machine That Works Like the Sun, James Kanter, New York Times: Energy & Environment, created 29 April 2009, accessed 07 September 2009 (Provide Energy from Fusion)
This article talks about the undertakings of researchers all over the world to build one of the best plasma containers made, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). The goal is to create energy from basic nuclear fusion reactions through the collision of hydrogen atoms, but there has been no such container that can contain all that energy, which is where the ITER comes in. Inside ITER will be a tokamak (magnetic vessel) that will effect and hopefully contain the plasma. This effort is extremely expensive, and the future of this project depends on the funding left for it.
