This is one of the most important accelerators I’m supporting right now. To be direct: without a significant amount of carbon removal/carbontech, life on Earth will suffer immeasurably. Aka, even if we stopped polluting today (which we are not - we will hopefully peak emissions around 2040 and then decline until almost 2100), this is completely necessary..

We all have a side hustle. Ideally they are some sort of passive income thing that greases the wheels while requiring minimal management time. This project took a ridiculous amount of time, was emotionally draining and paid nothing. Smart. And yet, it has been one of my proudest accomplishments.
