Going to the main topic here on Why clean energy investing is the future:
I believe that it is clear that Oil and Gas will continue to be burnt for decades to come. That is, as far as I can see, not the question. Neither is the intermittency of solar or wind. Nor will Nuclear energy deployment or research, in particular fission, stop any time soon. So arguing about these things here is not for me a useful activity.
It is already clear that people are investing in so called Climate technology:
While the broader market might be cooling, climate tech continues to be a hot ticket, with investment figures for top deals in Q3 outpacing the two previous quarters this year.
Sure we can call this hype and various other things but we can’t deny that money is flowing into these areas. For me the questions are around where I should put my money. Progress is rarely linear and humans have problems with predicting change let alone the pace of change.
Remember markets are about ‘expectations’. Some things will change faster than other bits. Where will that change be? How are our lives going to change because of that? Those are the bets on which money is being placed.
