Oh, ye of little faith.
It is not a matter of more resources, but different ones, and a system-engineering approach that uses the huge wads of energy and raw materials within reach but ignored, mostly because the "best" way is so often confused with the familiar way of doing anything. THe inertial burden of past solutions is huge. That's where the hurdle comes from, IMHO.
