> why do VCs love it so much?
They love it because it's the ultimate grift.
> No tangible product that delivers any actual value (insofar as actually doing anything about pollution) ever has to be delivered. You're setting yourself up to, at the absolute best, be a middleman platform that sucks out value from actually productive companies.
> You're immunizing yourself and your other horrible businesses by playacting at being a responsible global citizen and can rip any critics as being on the side of climate change.
> Firms like Black Rock through Larry Fink's leadership have a massive hard-on for ESG investing and you've got the scenario to create pump and dump companies that ride this dumb investing wave that throws cash at anything with a good ESG score.
> Due to political reality of politicians taking advantage of the media fear porn surrounding climate change, you have an inroad to getting federal bucks and an absolutely unassailable moat.
