Things I Learned from Five Years in Climate Tech
Three most important things for 1.5C are:1. Stop burning coal
2. Get shipping off oil and onto renewables
3. DAC efforts need to be stepped up, both biological and technologicalAll of those are achieved by turning to Gen 4 nuclear reactors. MSRs are now entering trial phases [1] where nuclear energy generation is not as strictly regulated as in the States. Miniaturization efforts have found solutions where such a power plant [2] could be cost effective for shipping.DAC efforts are a bit strange. I've looked a bit into tree planting and haven't found anything that looks like it scales with investment.  I can't purchase a product knowing it will result in extra efforts, or put another way, if a billionaire would pour in a billion dollars, it wouldn't scale up the operation proportionately to the increased funds.  Technological DAC is a solved problem that would scale but needs a power source.4th gen reactors are the only thing that tackles these points on all fronts.[1] http://thorconpower.com/project/
