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.

We were talking about inventing, not running though.

My comment is in the context of this

Also interesting that we’re ignoring something here – big tech is chasing cheap sources of clean energy. Don’t we want cheap, clean energy?
