There are almost no companies that will invest in a project that will not produce a positive cash flow within a set number of years. The longer the time period for returns, the riskier the project.

Asking private companies to risk billions of dollars for half a century is unreasonable. That is what government research is all about, assuming the risk that private companies are not willing to take.
