Well climate != clean energy.

It would be great if there were people looking at climate change in truly innovative ways. But if it's a lot of the same-old, wrapped in a new ribbon it's going to be a disappointment.

And honestly there is a huge disconnect between the dire warnings we're getting and the actions we're taking. If it truly is an existential crisis, better wind turbines and solar panels that are 2x more efficient are great, but they're not gonna move the needle, and the real work should be a bout surviving in a hotter world.

I think ARPA-E is actually already working on climate apart from energy. I have seen their researchers talking about everything from low-land-usage/climate-resilient agriculture methods to carbon capture.
