We don't have time to gamble on sci-fi pipe dreams. Put every public dollar into deploying the solar, wind, and nuclear tech that actually works right now.
That’s shortsighted. Deployment matters, but without funding breakthroughs we lock in today’s limits and miss the tech that could make clean energy cheaper and faster.
Milestones trap curiosity; public funds should back a broad lab of experiments with feedback, not gatekeeping. Real progress comes when art, science, and stubborn practice mingle.
Milestones can curb curiosity; long-term, curiosity-driven research often yields the breakthroughs that actually change the world.
