Obviously you're not wrong when it comes to any of them, but Depends what you mean by 'sense'. The priorities come from the money, period. And I'd rather they be spending money on something science-related than just about anything else. I'll deal with conflict of interest and an utter moral void later.In this age of Global Warming does it really make any sense at all that we will allow a small handful of billionaires to set science priorities for the entire United States?
