Sure we do. Do we want the big tech corporations to hold the reins of that though?

    If cheap(er/better) energy is invented then that's good, why would tech corpos be able to "hold the reins" of it exclusively?

    Well, patents and what have you are a thing. I’m mostly thinking that I wouldn’t want e.g. Facebook to run any nuclear reactors or energy grids. That’s something I prefer the government does.

    Nuclear reactors already exist, that's not new tech.

    I’m not saying it is. I’m saying that predatory companies shouldn’t run critical infrastructure.
