Show us the model. I'm wondering what items you're repairing and if you're counting cost of labor (including you)
But the larger point is, there’s no way to decarbonize without shifting consumption patterns to a lower-emissions equilibrium. There’s only so far you can get with taxes, cap-and-trade, and carbon credits. And with matter unlike energy there’s fewer big levers like renewables.

Carbon tax / sequestration seems like the true panacea. It could be done at massive scale while the economy adjusts. I don't see what would limit it if carbon tax / credits could provide the funding.

The only issue I'm heard is
@sampenrose saing that carbon taxes don't work fast enough, so we need the R&D side as well because the market pressure would arrive too late to hit the targets. Thoughts Sam? - Show replies

Trying to do it with pure carbon taxes almost certainly won’t work. There are even worse “stainless steel bottle” greenwashing problems in tax policy. And the behavioral equilibrium there is imo more entrenched not less.

Equilibrium? ie the ability for the US/world to implement carbon taxes you mean?
