Agreed, as a whole we need to stop the argument line of reasoning that one alternative is at the expense of another, and then admonishing one because it’s not the “better” of the two options. Multiple things can happen at once, progress isn’t necessarily linear.

Let's be honest a research isn't at the expense of others but greedy politicians and CEO's are at the expense of every research and everything we researched.

In France we got a lot of nuclear fission, probably the best idea we could invest in right? Except investors took any money they could and we never spent enough on upkeep of the facilities nor the next generation of qualified workers. And now we got old power plant that are very hard to deal with.

Research budget for energy is concentrated on nuclear since decades in France. And FNN is focus on small or middle industry in relationship with nuclear.
