Haha oh ok, I see.

Nuclear would be great, maybe not on fault lines.

Look, I get the sentiment, and it is nice, the thing is though that the advice is not really applicable to most people on the planet and even if everybody that had those options available (i.e. were doing what is on the left and could do what is on the right instead) I don't think that it would solve our problems. Nuclear would go a lot further - but sure - not on fault lines.
Thanks for engaging with this.

The idea is the format, domain, open source, to chip away at some major emission sources. If people liked the format it might have lived!

Who I had in mind for the first cut were the affluent - people with an internet connection, from countries with high per capita emissions.

I find the point relevant that the solution isn’t going to be 1 magic thing (ie sequestration or nuclear) but by chipping away on all fronts.
