Analysts, politicians and media representatives do not embrace visions until entrepreneurs have paved the way for them. Until then, the visionary is a crank.
Photovoltaics on every building and that as a matter of course, plus a socially accepted energy transition in which electricity is more than just something that comes out of the socket. That is our vision for the industry and our energy future.
