Last I checked we are not post scarcity, so we still are those thirsty survivors vying over limited resources. There is only a clear "right" answer provided we first agree on ethics.

Whether you propose an industry subsidy, or campaign for regulatory reform, or initiate a cabal of technocrats to accelerate progress, every dollar towards this cause is a dollar not spent elsewhere. Strongly asserting that you have the one right answer doesn't make opportunity costs disappear.
