Sounds very good to me. No one knows what the breakthrough technology will be, but if we don't try, we'll never find out. Either there will be a breakthrough with impact like the iphone or it'll just be gradual progress over the next decades. As long as we have progress, it's a good thing

Not even 1% because of Jevons Paradox.
