9. It can be both booming and trivial

Growth rates continue to be impressive (in absolute terms, if not in terms of what has been predicted here)... but the total industry size remains trivial.

As an example - the total global PV market is comparable in size to the market for servicing gas turbines.

It's even relatively trivial just compared to renewables in general.
