Good article, Miraje, but I do have to nitpick this point: In this century, we’ve spent almost $6 trillion on renewables, and the share of energy worldwide coming from fossil fuels has declined from 86% to only 84%. That "only" amounts to $250B/year. That doesn't even match ExxonMobil's annual expenses. Doesn't matter, though. There's plenty of money to be made for those who can overcome the current roadblocks to our oh-so-renewable future, such as battery technology, better EV chargers, better and more durable PV cells, scalable (and serviceable) offshore wind, etc. The best way to advance this stuff is to let free market entrepreneurship do its thing. The worst way to advance this stuff is to let bureaucrats try and fund this stuff. You know, the same ones who can't even build a high speed rail line in California despite being way over budget and past original timelines. Tenchusatsu P.S. - Speaking of high-speed rail, I'll be headed to Korea in a few weeks. Can't wait to ride the KTX there. At least the Koreans know how to do public works, unlike us virtue-signaling Californians.
