Technology for a Solar-Punk future.
Airships and hydroponic farms...
This does indeed sound quite promising, especially if it can be combined with an end of pipe carbon capture technology in the same heavy industries while gradually replacing the fossile fuel use there.
Those thermal PV cells for electricity recuperation are also cool, and 40% efficiency is not bad at all compared to pumped hydropower storage for example.

I have read/watched/heard that "X is the future of Y" many, many times, and it very seldom happens.
Yeah. Progress is hard. You have to try and fail repeatedly to make it happen.
It is not even that, there are just so, so many grifters and scamers who promise the world and then just steal the money.
I thought it was going to be coal from the headline 😆
