They could offer a $10 Billion prize to the first US company to develop working cold fusion.

People like Elon Musk would rise to the occasion.

I think there have been contests like this in the past, but I cannot remember any specifics.

THAT is true of anything and everything government does.

That's not a bug, it's a feature. Guaranteed graft stream.

Solving problems doesn't make politicians money, prolonging them is where the big bucks are.
