It's Friday, so not my normal beat, but still something well worth de-'carb'-onizing
I am SO thrilled to see the talent moving into climate...
...but it's frustrating to see new-to-climate founders basically pitching the same 4 companies.
I promise there are novel problems worth exploring in this space 🙃
No one:
Me thinking last night at 1:07 am:
"Considering how much more temperate it may be there circa ~2100, Trump's attempt to purchase Greenland coulda have been the Louisiana Purchase 2.0"
📉 Not super pretty stuff from GE's renewable biz:
• 12-month orders down 19%
• 12-month revenue down 17%
• -17.3% profit margin (vs. -5.1% in '22)
Vestas & Siemens Gamesa's results were also less-than-stellar (reported last week)... turbine manufacturers scuffling!
