Cleantech - will it ever come back?

I really enjoyed working in renewable energy before.
I was seconded by my PE fund into a solar company, which we built quickly and took public on NASDAQ.
But then China killed the industry, and the cleantech bubble imploded.
Do you guys think cleantech will ever come back?
I'd love to work in that sector again.
It felt nice to have a mission.
To feel like I was working for the greater good, and pushing things forward for society, not just moving $ around.
