How will you sequester carbon already out there with boring solutions? It literally doesn't exist, hence why those new companies are there in the first place. IMO there are a lot of risky ventures you directly benefit from, such as mRNA vaccines just to name one recently, that you don't even register them, instead going off about Trump this and capitalism that. It's capitalism that got you these solutions in the first place, which, sure, has issues too, but don't act like you have a utopic idea of a system without issues. |

I don‘t care. First we need to address the urgent problem which is new carbon being released. Lucky for us that is also the easy problem. All we have to do is stop constantly catering to the interests of the rich. Let polluters become bankrupt if we have to.
mRNA vaccines were initially studied and developed in good old boring state funded universities, the stock traded research labs which did later develop them got state funded research grants. The stock market came nowhere near funding them until they were already proven. In fact publicly traded companies held patents and prevented a fair distribution of essential vaccines, leading to more people dying from COVID. Without the stock marked I am sure this technology would have been shared and lives would have been saved. Trading stocks in companies with mRNA patents was not about funding risky ventures, but about pandemic profiteering.
