Cadarache, south of France (near Aix, my city), has been finally choosen to be the place of the new nuclear energy program, ITER.
This program will try to find a new energy source, with the fusion of Lithium and Deuterium. if it success, it would be : less material, smaller machines, more more more energy.
But it won't be necessary a succes. And it cost 10 millions euros. (about 13 millions USD). But if all goes well, Humanity would probably have a never-ending energy source. (so it would resolve the oil problem)

here is the website presenting the site of Cadarache. You should have to look at it, IT's IN ENGLISH ;) , and there is also other informations (for the engeneers' families), particularly about the french education system, and the french health care system . There were debates about it here, so here it some informations (it's a little bonus ;) )

The cost is $10 billion. France gets the "demonstration" reator and Japan gets the follow-up "production" reactor.
