The government is hoping to build the world's first fusion power plant in Nottinghamshire with operations beginning in the 2040s.

Lol. Can't build a functional railway with 95 billion pounds. Not sure how they expect this one to work. Oh wait, they have no intention of making it work. The private firms hired to do it will just claim they're trying to, and pocket the investment capital.

What a clown country...

Well in fairness they didn't actually try to build a railway. They canceled the project out of spite not because it was undoable.

It really helps to have a functional government which isn't corrupt.
