How siblings navigate different risk tolerances in climate impact investing

My brother and I pooled money to invest in renewable energy projects, but he wants to focus on established solar companies while I think we should put money into early-stage battery technology and other moonshot solutions. We're both committed to climate impact but we keep arguing about whether to play it safe or take bigger risks, and I think we're really arguing about different theories of how change happens and different comfort levels with potentially losing money.
