You are reading much more into my comment than is what is actually there. You need industry to make renewables happen, but industry will focus where the greatest return is first. A global scale move to renewables will only happen when their are not other options with more return.
Energy orgs and their investors are looking at the shorter game…the <10 year ROI, they do not care as much about the longer game with the >50 year ROI. Frankly I bet you will not find an energy organization CEO in 2023 who truly gives a shit if their company even exists in 2073 let alone showing a profit.
So what do you do? Find that entrepreneur willing to play the long game. One name comes to mind, but now he is pretty much universally hated on HN, so god forbid we bring his name up. But…you need a nut job type like an Elon to push the envelope and be willing to bleed some money for a long time to move the needle just enough to show that there just might be a market worth exploring by others.
