Yes it would have been nice. I think Hillary Clinton had some similar plans , but was not elected. She certainly understood the issues I think. It would have worked far better than estimated, due to the extremely cheap solar cells now on the market. The fund would have made a lot of money, and would have completely removed itself from the political vagaries of annual national budget cycles. This could be an advantage to a private fund, provided the fund has a mechanism other than donations, to self sustain through partial vested financial interest in patents, stock, etc.
