Yes, the "system" tends toward inaction instead of action.
Like in Wisconsin, some senators ran away to avoid voting and acting
while there is great pain and hostility developing from their avoiding
the democratic process. People tend to do nothing instead of acting.
I fear that the "system" when confronted with a new technology
will mainly run away to avoid acting while society suffers pain from
the lack of clean energy. Large level implementation will suffer.
However, the inaction may also result in implementing some of the
technology. There seems little way to control its low level implementation
by individuals. It would take a concerted effort and lots of action to
prevent "backwoods" use of say 1-5 kW home heaters built by "good old
boys". Think about what it would take to prevent people from accessing
Nickel and hydrogen and a steel tube and perhaps a reasonable vacuum
pump made from an old refrigerator compressor.
I for one will be trying be in a position to heat my house within 2 years,
assuming I can get something to work. I have found no rules, laws,
material restrictions,.... preventing that path.

However, do not underestimate the capacity of politicians and society
in general to behave some of the most stupid counter-productive ways
imaginable. Having been personally involved for weeks in on-going
debates over Wisconsin's budget concerning the contentious matter of
destroying collective bargaining rights for public employees, an issue
that has now garnered national attention over the matter of what does
killing this provision have to do with balancing Wisconsin's budget...
I have to say pretty conclusively that when well-funded ideology grabs
the steering wheel, logic, practicality, and pragmatism, are often
forced to the back of the bus.
