It is very satisfying to be in an industry that represents a positive contribution. Congratulations. As important as one person is in the choice you made to go into this industry and also the choice you made to exit a lifestyle that was not fulfilling as you shared in another thread, what is most important here is the traction that an entire industry begins to have as we see with many alternative energies. We all know it will not replace fossil fuels in terms of energy density and output at the end of the day it wont really need to with the right combination of external consequences and internal lifestyle and cultural adaptations. Both external and internal are potentially synergistic. Who knows if this is not our trend line at the end. External feedbacks, some brutal and catastrophic coupled by internal cultural adaptation. We haven't yet had any significant external events and we are already beginning to see more and more folks internalizing the fundamental problem of human overshoot. You are a pioneer of sorts Baha.... good on you.
