California, we're counting on you! TGD

http://breakthematrix.com/Alternatives/Top...d-Never-Funded/ I was bored this morning and stumbled across this. The US government must really have their head in the sand after these gems. Hopefully the Australian government will recognise all this kind of work in the future and act accordingly.
