As an aside, I think it kinda sucks that we're in the age of information, but I can't google "fusion energy research funding history" and get anything other than op-eds and old news about funding announcements. We should be able to see this information cleanly presented and filter by US, Worldwide, etc. Then we wouldn't have to guess or make assumptions. Is there a source of information I am lacking or do I have to do my own research project on fusion funding just so I can participate meaningfully in this conversation?
