If you want to look at how well countries under communism transfer to clean energy, just look at Cuba and Venezuela. Russia has made massive strides, but really the only one on top was the country that was doing the worst in most recent history. China literally had all of its citizens wearing face masks because of the pollution. They streamlined their factory system to have the pinnacle of efficiency, making mass production much cheaper than anywhere else but also the most technologically advanced. The Chinese government reassessed their priorities and began funding clean energy to try and reverse some of the harmful effects of their country—and now, China is the leader of global clean energy affairs. Greed comes in all forms. But with great leadership can come progress.

Tesla is refining the technology for the solar roofs otherwise Home Depot would be selling it already. The only reason why this type of roofing was invented was because the Baby Boomers thought solar panels looked "ugly" on their homes. Talk about priorities. Whereas the younger generation appreciate the more techy appearance, the older generations didn't care to save money on their electricity bills if it meant that big dark panels were going to be placed on the front of their homes. Elon Musk compromised with this invention, but with every new invention it must work out the kinks, efficiency, and overall safety precautions that come with updating the wheel. I, for one, cannot wait until we are past the prototyping stage.

That's the only way that technology can be refined. The movers shakers and producers know this. It is the return on the investment later when the working class can afford it that really makes their funding worth it in the end.
