Technical issues take time, patience and a lot of disciplined thinking.
The idea that they can be sped up by throwing money at them, is flawed.

even taking that generalisation and anecdotal evidence into account, which takes my generalisation into account

, spending more than the small amount we currently do on the problem of solar-power will, I believe, lead to outcomes.
I agree that "Technical issues take time, patience and a lot of disciplined thinking." but we have the last two in spades and the first can be minimised to some extent with more funding of research and technical innovation.
