Got to agree.

It's like Zeno's Paradox, where an arrow can never travel half the distance, because it would have to travel half the distance before reaching that point and so on...

No idea is feasible at all if we all have to wait until somebody else takes the first step.

Nonetheless, yeah, there are problems with long term risk taking. Mainly getting enough investors for it.

That's why I mentioned using the pension and bond funds. They are the only organizations outside of national governments that can commit to that.

Also, using governments to build things is a rotten idea, not merely because of inefficiencies, but because a different political party might come in within that long time horizon and then the entire project gets fucked. That's a pretty decent risk.
