Making **A** choice for what **IS BEST** implies certainty about what is best.
That's not a stochastic policy.

I have never said to use ONLY the raw market. I have actually called
for intervention
to strengthen market competition, and that is a kind of intervention.
And lots more effective R&D.
But as a practical matter, we cannot dictate a single energy source
or carrier for
the entire world. Improved market competition is an important PART of
the solution,
a tool we must make use of, along with all other tools.
I do not see China guiding us to a faster deployment of space solar power,
even though they trust markets less than we do.
Best of luck to us all,
Paul
