9. Thanks for your post. No, I don't have complete exposure to all the current energy orgs out there, or the RMI.

So thank you for this information. I'd say, yes, ignorance is the problem. But it's not for lack of trying by many DU'ers here. It's been a collective effort to learn and understand what's become a fluid situation across the range of non-fossil energy projects and who all's funding and operationalizing them.

To your #1 problem I'd add inertia. It's a big country, big economy; it needs some smart people in the DoE and White House. The administration we have, that runs a 'whole of government' action plan, commits to a serious operationalizing an at scale 'energy transition' right now. There isn't a better administration out there, on any horizon, to develop short and long term systems that help mitigate climate crises that face us.
