This is a disingenuous quote -- the parent said 'so the whole of things is also a management experiment'.
You then go on to attack that decontextualised fragment by saying:
> Really? Billions and billions of Euros, hundreds of thousand of metric tons of concrete, hundreds of MW of power, thousands of gallons of fresh water-per-minute, tends of thousands of nuclear waste, to run a "management experiment"?? This has to be the most ludicrous, expensive and ill-designed case study in the history of mankind.
And I'd suggest:
metric tonnes
hundreds of MW
thousands of imperial measurements of water that are re-usable
tends <sic> of thousands of nuclear waste ... means what, precisely?
refer you again to the 'also' runs a management experiment
This clearly is not the most ludicrous, expensive, and ill-designed case study in the history of mankind, no matter how the coal industry wishes to describe it.
I fail to see how the "coal industry" reference applies to me however, or indeed, critics of this mammoth project that makes absolutely no sense.
I'm French and have been listening to politicians telling us the billions of Euros spent, and tons (why tonnes?) of concrete in an otherwise nice region would transform the production of energy, for most of my adult life.
As I've always suspected, that's complete BS, as the article makes clear. Why people who are not politicians would want to defend ITER, I don't know.
