Is ITER good for the World?

The ITER machine, a device for unleashing mass amounts of energy to the world. The ITER is an investment from 35 countries to decrease the amount of pollution put into the atmosphere and increase the amount of usable energy in the world. This sounds like an amazing idea to anyone just reading an article on it off the street, but as we go  into depth we realize that it is a very expensive project to fund. The guesstimate for price is roughly twenty billion dollars. It is so expensive and funded by so many different countries that it needs it’s own currency.

The big question about the ITER machine is, is it worth it? Is it worth the amount of money, time and labor to build it? Everyone has their own opinions and ideas about the project. Personally we believe that it would be a smart investment. In the long run it seems that it could easily pay itself off if it works. The world would cut down its pollution and create large amounts of energy which could produce half a giga-watt of power. Which is half of the power a large power plant produces.
