Totally agree that the tech can still be transformative even if investors lose money. The question for me is if it stops being financially viable, what keeps driving it forward?


Hope.


And when that fails, cycles of nationalisation until the hope returns. Just like railways.


Seems we have a plan with a track (sorry) record on success.

Just don't do the reverse - privatization seems to be lethal to hope just as much as it is to infrastructure operations and maintenance. Just like railways.
