yet another possible gamechanger from the human mind to undo the harm we have done while holding onto modern civilization and lifespans. To do away with coal, oil, gas, and even batteries with revolutionary electrodes conducting the power of all light would change everything including how we all behave every day.

How much is invested in green energy?
In addition, BNEF's report finds that investment in the global clean energy supply chain, including equipment factories and battery metals production for energy technologies, hit a new record at $135 billion in 2023 (up from just $46 billion in 2020), and is set to surge further over the next two years.

The predicted costs of the green transition vary significantly, with estimates ranging from $100 trillion to $300 trillion between now and 2050. On an annual net basis, this requires investment of 2-8% of global GDP, which is substantial but far from impossible.
