It looks like we have some similarities in background, maybe some overlap, it's been my brief also on occasions to assist companies make organisational changes, my usual role is a Systems Engineer in aerospace, usually consulting rather than permanent, so project based.
To me studying also the global energy problem now for 7 years and counting, I saw all this coming so been working also on the solution, which appears to me to be domestic and community solar hydrogen.
This seems dictated by full analysis of the stakeholder model, giving all people full energy independence, whilst providing the fuel needed to keep aerospace in the air whilst replacing all fossil fuels.
The only way we'll get enough hydrogen generated is to maximise the amount of solar energy put to creating it, and this has to be done distributed because that is the way the energy in sunlight is.
So it looks like there is a case for saying aerospace at least could be incentivised to provide some help to the public, to motivate them in turn to get "tooled up", to start providing aerospace with the hydrogen it needs for the future.
I think that would be incentivised by the aerospace industry itself ensuring it goes solar hydrogen first, equipping itself to go fullly energy independent.
The change this has to make to motivations is significant, the organisation no longer needs to depend on energy by extraction, which is mutually dependent on profit, so in effect the organisation can become non profit, altruistic, it is no longer dependent on income from profit on sales of its traditional product, since money is energy always, it is interchangeable at any time and the organisation can scale this up or down depending on their requirement for income.
This is what I think I will probably be doing next year if I return to industry after a while out, due to me working on the energy problem, I will be doing everything I can to persuade them to go solar hydrogen.
I would say all businesses, all governments, should get prepared to go all solar hydrogen. That done, oil will go negative priced again for sure. But this time it will never recover, it will stay negative, removing all incentivisation from it.
