My point is, it’s not the technology difficulty thay will stop us (though that part is hard too), but political action difficulty. We learned that with Covid. Moonshot vaccine project actually worked… and then doubt merchanting on talk radio shows gave away half the win.

the political downstream unintended consequences could still be worse, but it's not obvious that they would be
