Speaker: Ayesha Choudhury - Senior Vice President, Head of Capital Markets at Infinium

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.

Why Tesla’s Stock Tanked After Cybertruck’s Reveal

CleanTechnica

Tesla's stock went down some after the Cybertruck reveal, and to be honest, I kind of expected that to happen. I believe in Tesla and am a shareholder, but when it comes to new things, humans are predictable. I have been accused of "investing in a dream" by some Tesla short sellers, and it's true. However, if you don't invest in dreams in some type of way, they will remain dreams and not come to fruition.
