The live arguments are about how much policy support new categories should expect, when software meaningfully changes infrastructure economics, and which parts of the stack deserve patient capital. Those are best argued with actual deployment constraints in view.
Three questions worth debating:
- how much policy support new categories should expect
- when software creates real leverage in climate markets
- which parts of the stack deserve more patient capital
Background reading before you take a strong stance:
- IEA Net Zero by 2050 roadmap: iea.org/reports/net-zero-by-2050-a-roadmap-fo...
A strong system-level reference for where decarbonization pressure and infrastructure limits show up.
- DOE Liftoff reports: liftoff.energy.gov/
Useful for understanding commercialization pathways and deployment bottlenecks in the US.

Talks and explainers that help translate research into deployment context.
When you respond, include the environment you are optimizing for. Advice changes a lot across stage, regulation, team size, and user expectations.
