The shift in Washington is sending shockwaves through the clean energy sector. Offshore wind projects are hitting a wall, and geothermal power is suddenly the new darling of the energy world. But let's be real - start-ups that were banking on federal subsidies are now scrambling to prove they can survive on private capital alone. It's a massive pivot from 'government-backed' to 'market-driven' survival. While some argue this policy shift will kill innovation, others think it’ll force these companies to actually become profitable and efficient. If you can’t make it without a handout, were you ever really a viable business? We're about to see which climate tech is actually ready for the big leagues and which ones were just puff pieces. It’s a cutthroat era for green tech, but maybe the competition will breed better results for our infrastructure in the long run. #Tech #Economics
