I don't think so, expand on your thoughts, I don't deal in macro economics.

My statement may be seen as patronising but I don't see why you should
think I contribute for "moral gratification", I'm not in receipt of
grants nor seeking them. Where or what have I failed?

We've just delved into a different method of cooking and if, as you
say, it could become available for tens of millions currently using
biomass then it's valid. I don't use biomass for cooking though I do
heat my house with wood in winter.
