Twenty-first Century US, still living as though it can rest on its first-half of the Twentieth Century laurels. Corporate GREED is still and always will be the problem — the multinationals with US roots turned traitor to those roots.

Even if a clean-energy Manhattan project were spawned, and some of it IS, indeed, already occurring — the greedocracy would still manage to off-shore the manufacturing & assembly of the jobs connected with those clean technologies.

It has already done so & will continue to do so. And there are apparently insufficient numbers of politicians willing to say that if it’s spawned in the US, with any US resources [e.g., NIH, NSF, national laboratories], then whatever corporate entity develops the technology must also keep those jobs in the US, pay US wages & be satisfied with that lower profit margin; that is, greed cannot rule! Show me the legislators willing to do that, & I’ll be greatly astonished!
