  • A recent report from the London Stock Exchange Group Plc found that “green economy” companies have a total stock market value of $10 trillion.

So about the same size as the AI industry, but actually produces something of value.

Energy is energy, so I've long believed that being able to convert energy from one form to another has always had a proven use. So yes, green energy (generation, storage, use) is a huge market, but that's because energy itself is an even bigger market, and green energy needs to compete with dirty energy in order to be sustainable long term. That's what we're seeing and what we should expect to continue to see.
