In the last few years the big three western wind turbine makers have taken bold steps to get competitive across wind’s three-legged stool of revenue; onshore, offshore and services. After acquisitions, reshuffles and some raising of the stakes on the technology front, GE, Vestas and Siemens Gamesa have more comparable businesses. There’s not much consolidation left to be squeezed out in the sector.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.

Elon Musk is by nature an iconoclast, a disrupter, an upsetter of applecarts and a slayer of sacred cows, so his long-standing interest in bitcoin, which has been described as “a techno-anarchist project” and “a way to separate money from the state,” is not at all surprising. Now Tesla has purchased $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin as an investment, and announced that it will accept the currency as payment for its products and services.
