Fusion project decision delayed
Found on BBC News on Saturday, 20 December 2003
A decision on where to site the world's first big nuclear fusion reactor has been postponed until next year.
Officials from several countries meeting in Washington were divided on whether to build the international reactor in France or Japan.
The US has been against the French option because of France's opposition to the US-led invasion of Iraq.
Nuclear fusion holds out the promise of virtually limitless pollution-free energy.
Now that's the political reaction I expected from the US: crying like a baby. Because France dared to have a different opinion than the US, they now try to boycott them as much as they can. Long live the freedom fries!
