This is really great news. But as they said, we need to be very careful and make sure that there are people buying it from the UK. We need to also make sure 100% that we actually keep it within the UK, make sure that it’s given as much funding as possible, and that she’s scale of the products, no matter how much it costs and don’t be scared to spend money on it. We cannot allow this technology to slip through our hands like we have with everything else. This is a chance to actually dominate in something again. We need to make sure the Americans and China don’t get their hands on it and try and make scaled up versions that are better because we haven’t done so ourselves without incentives and we end up just buying from them. Essentially buying our own technology back. We need to make sure we think about long-term profits and benefits for our country rather than short-term drops of big money from the US.
