Agreed for things like busses. Doesn't take a rocket surgeon to electrify one, and the capital risk to enter is not insurmountable.
There might be a case for government funding for something like fusion, or next-gen fission. When so much money is required to make a decent run at the problem with no expected ROI, those projects might not get funding, and they are among the most important.
Maybe I just need to start a GoFundMe for a thorium reactor. Donations above $1,000 get $0.03/kWh electricity for life, or something.
