> $35 million

Putting $35 million on the table to accomplish what has eluded us for so long and is supposed to sustain modernity for the next 1000 years is small enough to convince me that this is more promotion than promise. That's about about 1% of the cost of this steel mill, (https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2021/sep/17/us-steel-to-bu...) which is called a mini-mill in the link. Boxers have earned much more for a single fight; $35 million might buy a CEO for a year, but it is less than half the cost of a Hollywood film, of which we get a few each week, or of a 10-bedroom home on 5th Avenue.
