Much like the COVID situation if it's not carefully monitored, those jerks selling Hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin as a miracle cure or prophylactic, the green energy initiatives are just there to be milked by pricks looking for a fast buck masquerading as venture capitalists. When the government funding for Carnegie started to dry up, all of a sudden the boosters saw immutable road blocks and departed very swiftly!
When you read the spin, these inventions are all miracles, unbelievably simples cures for our energy economy, yet they all in the final paragraph list the need millions or billions from governments to get off the ground. It's a tell, because if the invention was any good at all, someone like GE or Siemens would buy them out without a single tax payer dollar to be seen!
btw., There have been some very good spin-off inventions come out of this energy research, ironically they were mostly bought out by the Saudi's or the USA, and shelved!
