I work with those guys on occasion!!! I think they told me once that when those giant flywheels release their energy for a fusion shot, they produce more energy in those few seconds than what is consumed in all of the UK. I think their "60 kettles of tea" analogy was off.
We are also supporting ITER here at work. I have been involved (from the sidelines or in design reviews) for years on these projects and even though I think they are noble and the kinds of giant things that humans need to do, I fear the technology is still just outside our reach.
Then again, my facility operates reliably on a daily basis and 15 years ago, people would have said it was impossible.
