    I was listening to a podcast the other day (could have been “Rachman review”, which is typically very good) and the interviewee said that yes, there might be interest in this, but companies want to see long-term orders before committing. There’s currently no capacity, so they have to build it on their side, but they don’t want to do it if they think the orders are going to dry in a few months / years.
