My impression is that the research efforts have been focused on "can we do it?" Then, if the answer is yes, they'll focus on "how do we do it efficiently?" Where efficiency can mean anything from capital efficient, to resource efficient, to energy conversion efficiency. Limiting one's focus on the next blocker in the critical path and not increasing scope beyond it sounds like perfectly good engineering to me.
- pfdietz 4y agoIt seems like terrible myopic project management to me. You want to avoid first steps that you know are very likely going to lead to dead ends down the line. We're constantly being told to take the long term view. Are we only to do that when it's favorable to the technological optimist's case or budget?
