Renewable energy is currently growing at a rate of 15-20% per year (Joules, though dollars can't be that far away), compared to energy as a whole (more like 2%). So it seems like it should be a massively expanding domain for investment.
Trying to square that with the SV conventional wisdom that cleantech was a bust. It may just be that 2006-2011 was just a phenomenally bad time for a big increase in investing (financial crisis and fracking both happened in the middle).
I must admit, I also wonder if it's just that SV is the wrong place, much as investing in high-risk software startups is a bad investment idea (though often a social good!) in most cities.
Hard to capture the value when manufacturing costs are dropping so fast?
That argument would suggest that companies like TSMC, Intel and NVIDIA shouldn't make much money. But they make boatloads.
My guess is that someone really is making a _lot_ of money. Just not sure who.

This is cool, but, although they are the world’s largest single generator of solar and wind, it seems to be a small part of their business. Their core business is FPL, which is mostly fossil with some nuclear: http://www.investor.nexteraenergy.com/~/media/Files/N/NEE-IR/reports-and-fillings/annual-reports/NextEra%20Energy_Annual_Report_2018.pdf …pic.twitter.com/xPdbVhzUVA
(I can’t readily find a breakdown of power sources for the whole consolidated business in their annual report)
Solar & wind are growing rapidly, but from an incredibly small base. Which is good or bad depending on how you look at it! NextEra’s stock price seems to be a bet on that being profitable in the future, rather than reflecting current profits from renewables.
And, they’ve used their stock multiple as currency to buy up existing fossil and nuclear utilities, which is where a lot of the income growth is coming from. Their promises to invest in solar and wind going forward are inspiring, however!
