I mean it may be a good sign, you're right, but this thing could (will?) take 20 years.
Not sure that it does zebop.
100k is the kinda money that can be spent without actually committing to a project. It could be 100k spent to determine that its not feasible and hence saving them billions on completing the project.
Any news on when this is actually happening? Last I heard about it was when I recieved a pamphlet in the post about the proposed design for public comment.
