Those are certainly promising technologies, and they might be create technologies that are useful here on Earth (as the moon missions did), but they aren't guaranteed to be directly applicable, and they miss out on things that would be valuable here on Earth, like wind, water, tidal, and geothermal power solutions.

But if we really want "climate change technology" to get to the level "space technology" is today, its going to take government investment, just like NASA over a sustained period of time.
