.. or .. by spending money on pursuing other life forms, we may accidentally (or intentionally), discover other clean ways of generating power for ourselves !
If we could overcome the obstacles of close-to-light speed travel, I'm sure solving our present energy problems would seem miniscule, by comparison !
One thing that can be said of the search for exo-life is that if we don't pursue the goal, we'll never find out !
