I don’t think it’s wrong, I just think it usually takes criticism plus an economic incentive. Hybrid cars didn’t have adoption until oil prices rose substantially. Airlines also adopted Boeing’s Dreamliner, which was made with lighter materials, during this same period. Now oil prices are low, but adoption of electric cars is increasing still. I think that an economic spark is typically a necessary catalyst for an alternative to emerge.
