Only in fields that are too expensive for private research which basically encompasses only two fields: health research and space research. Fusion fits under space. Private industry doesn't need incentive to research the rest.So basically you're arguing that there should be more govt funding of research. No argument here.
There's a ton of research going on all of the time that is never accounted for when compared to government funding for research. Case in point: Intel developing smaller fabs is all research and they don't get a dime for it from the government. They may get tax incentives for building in a specific place but they aren't getting paid to make circuits smaller. Another example is fast food chains expanding their line up of foods. They have to research what foods people want, design a means to mass produce it, and ensure their logistics system can handle it. They see virtually no government funds for this. Or how about GE designing more efficient turbine engines. The only way they get funds is because of a government contract to buy the engines, not because the government set aside research funds for it. As TheMailMan said, most of the research is going into projects that are crony at best, fraudulent at worst. The government is notoriously bad at delegating funds for research because it's based on political favors, not what American society requires.
