While it’d be frankly near impossible to determine with any certainty exactly how much or how little green technology may have been set back as a result of misleading information regarding fossil fuel use, I think you’d probably agree that the misinformation played at least some role in slowing down earlier investments in greener technology.
That isn’t big bad oil boogie man rhetoric, it’s just common sense.

Debatable. We all have the information now and we STILL are having a hard time developing the technology and scaling. This is with massive subsidies. This isn't simply a time issue - this is semiconductors, microchips, software development, the whole shebang. Its not like this technology would have been propelled forward without these. 15 years ago people didn't have smart phones - think about that.
To say misleading information is to blame for being behind on the green transition is disingenuous. Btw - how is Advent working out for you? I believe you said it would be $20 by now? Just goes to show how even the cutting edge green tech is still being delayed by supporting technology and adoption...
