The ITER fusion project costs around $15Bn.
Apple reputedly has $250Bn in cash reserves.
They could do 5 ITERs without even breaking a sweat.
And ITER's like 15 small fusion projects worth of investment, so 75 fusion projects worth.
A single company potentially has the capacity to solve the world's energy problems, and given that energy is The Most Important thing — most of the world's problems.
Or Alphabet. Or LockheedMartin, etc.

- I'll just be in the corner with my foil hat on, don't mind me. :)_niko
- it still made sense _nikofadein11
- ... free energy ... at this point, the ITER produces less energy than goes into it at millions of $$$ ... we'd be better off riding stationary bikesmonospaced
