The ITER fusion reactor that has to rise in Cadarache, France, costs billions of euro's to be paid by a number of countries including Japan and the USA. China is already building its own nuclear fusion reactor. It's a battle between lobbyists for power, money and new techniques because all of the great powers want to protect their energy sources.

In het Café-Restaurant recht voor de Abdij kun je alle West-Vleteren bieren proeven of je kan een kist met flesjes bier bestellen. Hierbij is er wel een grote wachttijd omdat het bier de laatste jaren zo immens populair is geworden tot in Amerika en verder.

A Pint of Beer The number 1 in the category of best beers in the world for 2010 is the Abbey-bier of Abbey St. Sixtus from West-Vleteren (Belgium) and more specifically the 12 degrees version. This beer is brewed by Cistercian monks (also known as Trappists). They live a modest and quiet life searching for God. The beer is brewed in a limited edition because this craft-beer can only be produced by the Cistercian monks. You can taste the beer in the Café-Restaurant right before the Abbey of West Vleteren. There's a large waiting time to get a crate of this West Vleeren beer because the beer has become immensely popular the last few years, even in America. Närke Kaggem Stormaktsporter (Sweden) was second and Cigar City Bourbon Barrel Aged Hunahpu's Imperial Stout (USA) ended third.
