Leave money out of it for a moment and recognize that this is a monumental step toward cessation of use of fossil fuels by humankind. I cheer for ITER with the same fervor.

Nobody else gave a shit about EVs until Tesla did it on a large scale. I don't own a single share of TSLA or one of their vehicles (yet) and I am happy for this and will benefit from it, because I am a human living on Earth.

This has nothing to do with the claim that we, as a people, got somewhere with this factory, when it is the shareholders that own and control the IP that made it possible, along with the physical machinery. It's not a public service that we, as a people, are responsible for in that sense.

It's not even that. It's the fact that something like this exists, has been invented, all of it.
