Dude I agree with you, but it isn't that simple. Throwing money at the problem will not guarantee success. How can we foster meaningful innovation in the space? I don't have the answers. Education, maybe? Anyone under 40 grew up hearing issues about the environment, but how many adults grew up being educated about the need to find breakthroughs in energy production? I think it may take another generation before someone comes along who has the focus to do something truly revolutionary. I just hope I am here to see it.
Oil and gas reserves have been a curse to so many countries.Democracies have tended to sheperd their reserves better than other nations, although I was enormously impressed by all that Dr. Mahathir Mohamed did to invest its gas wealth into economic development for the country. Sadly, truly visionary leaders like Dr. Mohamed are rare. Someone needs to find the key to unlock the process of matter conversion into energy at the most basic form. Then we'll be free from the tyranny of burning fuels to generate electricity.
