    Wouldn’t this benefit everyone? Presumably the implications are far wider and more important than who makes the most profit from it.

      Then why shouldn’t “everyone” be funding it??

      Funny how the same people who (rightfully so) complain about privatizing profits but socializing risks, don’t see a problem with research that will benefit everyone should maybe also be funded by everyone.

      If one group is funding that research, then you better believe they should be the ones who overwhelmingly see it’s benefits.

        Japanese government has a huge investment in battery tech alongside toyota and other Japanese companies. Solely to boost their economy in the long term
