The ultimate goal, obviously, is to shift the world to renewables \u2014 but that&#8217;s not something that can be done overnight.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The massive directional positive is that we&#8217;re doing something that&#8217;s pushing against an open door \u2014 whether that&#8217;s governments, businesses, even the oil and gas companies&#8230;they&#8217;re all pushing towards renewables being the area of focus, rather than the maintenance of status quo.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The full podcast episode\u00a0is available free to listen on <a
