Will we ever see female or non-white versions of Steve Jobs and Elon Musk?

ThomasinaPaine comments on Jul 9, 2020:

Define greatness. The ability to create technology that was meant to simplify life but in general has done nothing but turn humans into automatons with the attention span of a goldfish or is it writing a series of novels that got hundreds of millions of children and young adults to read books?...

If even Michael Moore through "Planet of the Humans" can see the uselessness of Renewables surely people like CEO's can? "Planet of the Humans is a 2019 American environmental documentary film written, directed, and produced by Jeff Gibbs. It is backed and promoted by Michael Moore, who served as the executive producer Moore released it on YouTube for free viewing on April 21, 2020, the eve of the 50th anniversary of the first Earth Day. A conclusion of the film is that green energy cannot solve the problem of society's expanding resource depletion without less consumption, which is by definition unsustainable given that the Earth is finite.The film argues that renewable energy sources, including biomass energy, wind power, and solar energy, are not as renewable as they are portrayed to be.
