Contrast this with climate tech: this is a profoundly *physical* kind of technology. It is *labor intensive*. It is *skilled*. The workers who perform it have power, both because they are so far from their employers' direct oversight and because these fed-funded sectors are more likely to be unionized than Silicon Valley shops. Moreover, climate tech is *capital* intensive.
