Will FutureGen be cut?

Excerpt from this article:
Energy Secretary Samuel P. Bodman told Illinois lawmakers yesterday that the Bush administration may drop its support for FutureGen, a flagship $1.5 billion coal-fired power plant to be built in the state with cutting edge carbon capture and sequestration technology that would allow the plant to store its greenhouse gasses underground rather than releasing them into the atmosphere—the first plant of its kind. Other reports indicate that the Bush administration may decide to revamp the project rather than cut it entirely.
