  With respect to that graph: tokamaks turned out to not work nearly as well as the plans embodied there assumed (and because engineering obstacles were not sufficiently publicly acknowledged at the time). If funding has not been as high as hoped, it's because stakeholders don't really exist for fusion. The utilities have never thought much of it.
