That is about right.

That is why I believe the reason for slow adoption is because there is no strong incentive.

Case in point, Malaysia had a very strong incentive program between 2012 - 2016. In this program, you can sell solar electricity at up to 5X the rate you pay (which is a huge profit!). In 2013, people in-the-know caught on and any new applications available were grabbed within seconds. Adoption was rampant but only as much as the number of applications under this program. The program unfortunately no longer accepts new applications since 2016.

I am sad when they made that announcement. But, that program did leave me a clue.

If the incentive is strong enough, people will find a way to overcome the price barrier to maximize their profit

Hence, I want to create an open public blockchain that incentivizes both production and consumption of solar electricity. I have set a date when my whitepaper must be out.

Meanwhile, I'm doing free talks to raise awareness and interest and I'm actively looking for new audiences and places to speak so that I can fill my calendar and speak once a week for the next 2 years.

Using blockchain technology to incentivize production and consumption of solar electricity? Wow, I can't even imagine how that could happen! It's gonna be something real big and change the entire game!
I'll be waiting for 30th May @buzz.lightyear!

If my company talks about renewable energy or I know any friends looking for speakers about solar energy, I know who to look for now :)

@tifaong One year later, I am making incremental progress to develop this cryptocurrency for renewable energy producers and supporters. We have now entered Phase 1 of the project - The Pioneer Round. Please come join as a Pioneer.

Everybody can earn this cryptocurrency simply by introducing us to people you know who are rooftop solar homeowners.

Also, yes I would love to speak if you can arrange a platform for me. Topic title: How to achieve 100% Renewable Energy for Malaysia by the Year 2068.
