You are describing modern technology in general

Yes, based on our resource consumption we need to radically restructure our entire society to be more ecological. Not sure what your point is; i would like extraction for all those other purposes reduced and minimized also because what we're doing rn isn't sustainable. Marx was fairly clear on this

it'll mostly maintained by highly capable technical staffs

I addressed this in my original reply; "Also of course the unequal exchange between the global south and north to create the superprofits funding the blue collar job-haver's salary and benefits." I don't think it's inherently good that more technical jobs are opened up in the imperial core

Governmental research institutions

Friend you seem to have entirely missed the meaning of 'academia is bourgeois'. I said: "Its goal is constant growth of its industry, with little to no regard for the consequences (which are always displaced as far away from the scientist as possible). All of this is justified with an unproven faith that it will eventually be beneficial for the people whose land is dug up for the metals for the neat machines scientists play with.". I did not mention anything about the stratification of academic jobs, and governmental research institutions clearly fall into academic science as I defined it.
