Ah! All is further revealed in another BBC article "
Climate 'meltdown', yet fusion lags.", which was written by Richard Black, the environment corespondent on the 19th June 2009.

The 140 comments are most interesting, and kind of makes my earlier point about the questionable issues towards the BBC on-line actual credibility. The whole aim in the first article on the budget problems with the fusion (as astroron first sent), is actually the wild desperation by the environmentalist for action on climate change - basically stating of the lack of alternative source - fusion being one possibility. Really, the whole message is confusing to say the least.

Which is true?
Instead of investigation and clarifying the situation, all the BBC on-line site is doing is just muddying the waters.

Why would a 'reliable' media organisation do this? Weird.
