To say that ongoing technological innovation is essential is truistic; the question as always is, what kind of innovation?
Clearly, for instance, it is folly to continue to make heavy continuing

alternative power sources to be the principal focus of R&D. Simply to give blank-check endorsement to any and all forms of “innovation” as an undeniable
social boon is senseless.
Well yeah, but who does, apart from our RCP-UK alums, Comrades
Grinker and Heartfield?
