    There is no conceivable way that we can reach NetZero carbon-free worldwide global economy in 15 years. This isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon. And it’s a marathon that will last hundreds and thousands of years if human technological civilization is to continue to exist.

    Therefore, it would be prudent to invest in every carbon neutral and zero carbon technology that we can right now to achieve those goals. This is not a one technology solution. It’s an all hands on deck response to the climate crisis, and we will be lucky if we achieve this by the year 2100.

      It is very much a sprint. We are hurtling towards societal collapse (currently estimated to accoure between 2040 and 2050) and already can’t stop the worst effects of climate change, all we can do is scramble to reduce the harm as much as possible, and then means acting as a fast as possible.
