Your cynicism is showing.
Progress can’t be made unless we try.
:P

Point is, for the price of ITER:

1) next generation fission plants could have been demonstrate;
2) a better and safer life cycle management of nuclear waste could be furthered;
3) small scale thorium fission demonstration plants could have been had;
4) many experimental small scale (e.g., “Polywell”) fusion experiments could have been conducted and prototypes engineered.

That’s what we should have tried.
