What if said super batteries and efficient sequestration never develop? Why isn't creating lower emission power supplies on your list? I understand that the batteries save green power for when it can't be produced, but if we could find other, better, low or zero emission power sources, wouldn't that be just as good?

I'm just confused why those are the two must have technologies, which don't yet exist, and not others, which also have yet to exist on the scale we need.

because that would require a change in personal behavior while the carbon sucking option means it's some scientist's problem and they have no personal responsibility

Find other low or zero emission power sources is the same as "innovation is required to combat client change" as OP. Technically nuclear would be perfect but practically I fear that ship already sailed nothing else up an coming except maybe fusion has any potential as a real baseload powersource.

Without another breakthrough in battery technology solar and wind will never be more than the token effort they are today.

I'm not laying that out as the better option, just that if we're going to create arbitrary lists of things that was solve climate change, I don't understand what the criteria was to make the cut or not, outside of one's own personal preference.

Does it solve the problem is the cut and solar and wind don't make it right now.
