No, much more fun to be had from a GREEN WIDGET SCAM.
Original investors (claim) to be putting in $37M and wait for the dummies to climb on board.
Original investors take back their money (with interest) and leave the bag-holders to enjoy the “trough of disappointment”

A hype cycle in Gartner’s interpretation comprises five phases:
“Technology Trigger” — The first phase of a hype cycle is the “technology trigger” or breakthrough, product launch or other event that generates significant press and interest.”Peak of Inflated Expectations” — In the next phase, a frenzy of publicity typically generates over-enthusiasm and unrealistic expectations. There may be some successful applications of a technology, but there are typically more failures.”Trough of Disillusionment” — Technologies enter the “trough of disillusionment” because they fail to meet expectations and quickly become unfashionable. Consequently, the press usually abandons the topic and the technology.”Slope of Enlightenment” — Although the press may have stopped covering the technology, some businesses continue through the “slope of enlightenment” and experiment to understand the benefits and practical application of the technology.”Plateau of Productivity” — A technology reaches the “plateau of productivity” as the benefits of it become widely demonstrated and accepted. The technology becomes increasingly stable and evolves in second and third generations. The final height of the plateau varies according to whether the technology is broadly applicable or benefits only a niche market.

Of course in the case of GREEN SCAMS – there is never any plateau
……just a trough….with directors snouts deeply in it!

Khosla Ventures makes its money by picking GREEN SCAMS, riding the HYPE CYCLE and pocketing the cash before the rest of the suckers wake up to the scam.
There should be a law against it.

I’ve seen lots of funny men;

And some with a fountain pen.”I
