i actually support this

encouraging more innovation on the edges is helpful for places like buffalo and st. louis where there are ambitious young people without the means to move

Do you honestly believe a peanut butter approach of grants will translate into long-term sustainable growth?

tbqh I would love to see a very formalized sequence of energy grants that expand public solar farm capacity. that alone would invite more explorational energy consumption (e.g. FLOPs) & +EV for private speculation.

knowing how open-ended this is, I think the current approach is earnest about appearance, not max scale.

Market is taking care of this. (And yes there are some gov subsidies contributing.)

that's a fair point for the energy.

I wish the market was the same for internet service (e.g. https://www.nber.org/papers/w16166), hopefully satellite constellations sustainably drive that down.

either way, I agree the best investment is systemic & drives at the root scarce input.
