Can you name a single industry that wasn’t created off the back of government investment? This isn’t about handing money to private companies, it’s about getting the shit we need to comply with the laws that are being set. I’d fully support private industry funding the entire thing but what evidence is there that they’d actually do it? They haven’t over the last decade outside of Tesla, so what’s going to change that now?

If it needs government money to survive, then it should be owned by the government.
That way, the only people getting paid are the ones doing the work. We won’t be wasting money on private ‘owners’.
