I don't know about that. What you are suggesting doesn't really fit the MO of Skunkworks where they work on advanced projects for years before revealing them. It's not like they announced stealth aircraft in the 90s just to drive up their stock price, they'd been working on it for nearly 4o years by that point and the planes were flying missions for decades.

Also someone on reddit made an interesting observation about job openings at Lockheed: http://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/2jbgcf/lockheed_...

With a fusion reactor, the only proof that's adequate would be a press conference at a facility where there's a large object under a tarp and a big red button to push. By itself, a press release on the subject just doesn't convey any actionable information, no matter what it says or who it comes from.
