The last part I think is crucial. These people are going to spend $10 million on a yacht. By getting them to invest in maritime electrics, hopefully we can support the industry to the point that they become viable for industrial uses, and that’s where it becomes interesting. A bunch of people who will never own a boat or work in maritime telling them that it’s useless is just dumb.
