This project is a massively huge project. Its "immediate" plans quote
dates 100 or so years in the future. I understood that it was still getting
money from the Government (via NERC?), and maybe even the UN. If it isn't
getting money from the UN, it should in my opinion, considering its scale
and World importance.
