Let me elaborate briefly. My theory is that renewables etc are being deeply held back (no idea how) by petroleum energy companies - it is massive business after all. Perhaps it is the very investment in renewables that is held back by oil companies and the mega-funds that have long term investments in them.
If only that investment went to companies like Tesla and BCN and then we would have an electric future.
A few years ago we had universities pledging to divest from oil, but now we have an entire nation's investment fund (Norway) sticking it to oil. Global warming is about to melt the permafrost and completely f**k up the world's climate and it will very soon become vital that massive investment is made in clean energy with extreme rapidity.
Which reminds me, must sort out my pension - far too much non-renewables in there.
