Climate Crisis An Opportunity

Do Something!

Demonstrators in Glasgow Streets, Nov 2021

The politicians and the lobbyists are arguing furiously once more. Nuclear or renewables? We need to invest in more research and development! But, in reality, do we?

More R&D would be good, no question.

But, is it absolutely essential before we plop our bucks on the counter?

Look at the graph above – from America’s Grantham Foundation: Solar panel prices have continuously decreased over the last decade. We all knew that.

Wind energy costs have continuously declined, but not as fast.

The real kicker is that energy storage costs (batteries to you and me.) have decreased fastest of all!

Energy storage at home, in businesses, industry and at grid level is now an economic proposition.

Investing in renewables is no longer a warm fuzzy option – it is a fast evolving profit opportunity.

Billion dollar markets are emerging as innovation drives the creation of ever more companies in new materials, bio-engineering and the life sciences.

Processing…
Success! You're on the list.
