Answer to Question 1

ITER is multinational effort to construct the world's largest Tokomak to demonstrate that a working fusion reactor is an achievable goal. It is being constructed in Cadarache, France.

Answer to Question 2

Solar and wind energy are resources that cannot provide baseline load without backup. Solar requires a large footprint, however rooftops and parking shelters can serve well. The clearing of land and added shade from solar collectors can adversely affect certain wildlife and plants. The best wind resources are often located a long way from the end user, requiring long transmission lines. Structures for wind turbines can create a hazard for small aircraft and birds and noise can be an issue in some locations. On the positive side, both solar and wind are non-polluting and do not emit carbon dioxide or other gases.
