Maybe I'm saying the obvious:..imo, tax payers, everyone, have to be very careful about the gvt doling out stuff to a new industry..too much room for the unscrupulous..

I know the medical side..imo, there's been lots of waste in NIH[Natl Institue of Health] funding with not enough medical progress to show for it..too many pet projects among the connected scientists that sometimes squeeze out the more viable/cutting edge ones by less known, less connected..

That's the lense I'm using..

Edit: I've thought about this pre this Bush announcement today..
