Because you need a plan before you can try to find materials to make it work. If it took more energy than was even pratical, that no one is going to attempt to build it, so control and materials is moot. But if the energy needed can be made practical scale for use, than someone will try to make something to use the idea.
The theories of flight were around before the Wright Brothers flew. It just took a while to make something practical.
