“Besides which there is no such thing as Government money.”

There’s a few. Radio spectrum auction revenues. And. Err. Um.

It could be the notion of ‘I want cleaner technology but want everyone else to pay for it’.

Alternatively it is the general theme of the only good money is Government money. They are not for profit enterprises after all…

If private sector funding chases down credible projects and throws money at them I shudder to think what Governments end up targetting. Besides which there is no such thing as Government money.
