Am not saying that "doing nothing" is the solution -- on the contrary! Wouldn't it be incredible if the next generation of young entrepreneurs got into nuclear, geo-engineering, cultured meat & afforestation?https://twitter.com/Bedeapk/status/1175269602894311424?s=20 …

So the solution is everything *except* rapidly getting off fossil fuels and massively building up renewable energy (other than dreamed-of new nuclear technologies that may never come to be). The most obvious and necessary thing we must do right now is off the table why?

No to be clear, I absolutely think we need to push renewables, particularly a breakthrough in storage thereof, and we need a carbon tax. I think the strong political push right now is very very good. But the *exclusion* of nuclear and certain other tech is dangerous.

My comment was aimed at
@clairlemon's. But I think I agree with you. I tend to think current nuke technology can't help - too expensive, too many bureaucratic hurdles, and the waste problem. New ones certainly could. But they're not in hand, and massive change needed now. 1/1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -
Q of nuke power not something I feel expert in tho. On another topic, what do you think of this: https://projectvesta.org/ It seems incredibly promising, yet rarely discussed. Almost too good to be true, but I don't right off see technical flaws in it. Do you?

According to http://projectvesta.org , the weathering by tidal action of 1 ton of olivine leads to the capture of 1.25 tons of CO2. But how much CO2 must be emitted to mine 1 ton of olivine & transport it to an appropriate beach?

Supposedly only 4% of what it captures https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18295857 … But I'd like to see a "peer-reviewed" evaluation...
