Ah got it. I guess I disagree, I think there are probably over a thousand companies actively working on the issue with the potential to massively reduce GHG emissions. Lots of examples in this thread. General categories are:

- EV manufacturers (eg Tesla) - Solar OEMs (eg SunPower) - Battery makers (eg Avalon) - Battery operators (eg Geli, AMS) - Wind providers (eg Vestas) - Large utilities which are focused on renewables (eg Enel) - Distributed generation companies (eg Sunrun)

The list goes on! GTM is a good news site with the pulse on each industry (https://www.greentechmedia.com)

I also agree that fundamental research (either towards an energy storage breakthrough or a next-gen nuclear breakthrough) are necessary. I think this is a "yes and" situation.
