[Fake Messiah]

It's similarly ludicrous to imagine a government so high minded and selfless as to just pass on those benefits,

Well, maybe that government doesn't have the money to pay for oil subsidies. The thing is that oil is not so beneficial, I mean on page 2 of this topic you have an article how oil subsidies cost $5.2 trillion in just one year and then add all the wars for oil, and that gas and oil enrich and give power to countries like Saudi Arabia and Russia.

Plus it may be beneficial to you but what about all the people who get dumped on by your plastic garbage? Shouldn't you be at least actively advocating for the solution?

waiting for some other solution which doesn't exist and will still need to be deployed whenever we come up with it, if ever. 

And is the right way what Trump's administration is doing by actively going against the progress?

I'm not saying that everything should stop until 'that new thing arrives' but rather that governments suffice or meet with the progress. Like perhaps how China made a deal with Gates, why couldn't someone else do it too? Or I guess in ideal world government would develop TWR technology like they did the atom bomb and radar invisible technology and similar.

I mean if innovation is left to private sector and these kind of technologies cost a lot to develop and then they need someone to sell it to, then it rather seems like a vicious circle, especially with oil lobbies going around that even gas emissions regulations seem "controversial".
