Germany’s about to switch on a revolutionary nuclear fusion machine
I don't pay close attention but was still surprised - never even heard of "Stellarator"
I'd be interested in the opinions of any resident nuclear physicists or anyone with related expertise.
Ya gotta check out the video of this monster's construction (also embedded at the linked page):

For more than 60 years, scientists have dreamed of a clean, inexhaustible energy source in the form of nuclear fusion. And they’re still dreaming.
But thanks to the efforts of the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, experts hope that might soon change. Last year, after 1.1 million construction hours, the institute completed the world’s largest nuclear fusion machine of its kind, called a stellarator.
