That sounds reasonable enough, but the pace or end result is by no means guaranteed.

We have invested plenty of money and time into nuclear fusion with little progress. The list of key acheivments from CERN[1] is also meager in comparison to the investment put in, especially if you consider their ultimate goal to ultimately be towards applying research to more than just theory.
