      In light of the ICPP report, we should incentivize oil companies to help with geoengineering to extend the ice of the Arctic and research on cloud seeding instead of investing in new fossil fuel infrastructure.

      This is a VERY bad Tweet. Should be deleted & replaced w/ suggestion that: a) Is grounded in the context of the horrific crimes of the oil industry b) Winds industry down & lessens its political power (i.e., end subsidies & nationalize) c) Stays the hell away from geoengineering

      Agree that oil companies have done tremendous damage. But we need to incentivize transition to energy efficiency and renewables

      Absolutely agree. Shifting subsidies is great place to start; U.S. spends $20 billion of public money on fossil fuel production/year. Would be great to remove it & shift to renewables. Shifting frame from "incentivize oil companies" to "standing up to Big Oil" would help a lot.

      Also, the original Tweet says nothing about this transition, which is probably why it's being trashed. In energy politics, geoengineering & cloud seeding are common Trojan horses thrown about by Big Oil to avoid transition. So it's not a great place to start the conversation.

          We didn’t incentivize car makers to produce jeeps in order to fight WWII. The government said: We are going to war and then did stuff to insure we produced jeeps and everything else we needed to win the war.

          Yes, @katiecannon2! This exactly. You are., after all a US senator who can enact laws as such. How long would you wait until they decide to do the right thing?

Re Big Oil, putting 'aside' for moment long-term obligations, should focus tech calls on where they 'can' deliver w/their expertise/skill sets. 1/n

          Re [2], legitimate arenas might include: - Synthetic (very low/no carbon) gas, liquid fuel - Synthetic (very low/no carbon) 'petro'-chemical feedstocks - Carbon sequestration - Efficiency in fossil fuel production - (Near)Elimination of methane leakage in production 2/n

          Going back to tweet: - Honestly, to extent such geoengineering merits RDT&E (research, development, test, and evaluation), don't see why #BigOil is right place to start/'incentivize'. - Right 'incentivize': carbon pricing & regulation to foster rapid move to clean tech. 4/n
