You don't find that just slightly circular reasoning? "Because there is no proof that anything will come of this, failure to fund the search for that proof is defensible." While, yes, there is no scientific consensus on any practical uses for this there is definite scientific consensus on the value of further study. If the investigation turns out to be a dead-end, so be it (it wouldn't be the first, or the last, time in science) but the process of that investigation will open up vast new areas of inquiry. Areas if inquiry that the US will be sorely challenged to meet starting, as it is, from a crippled position.
