Again. The machine needs to be in place a few years after all the low hanging fruit are picked in terms of new emissions (which is hopefully about 10 years away at the current pace of decarbonization technologies). But any public action on building the industrial base will be coopted to cause a delay. It’s a hard problem with no easy answer and one that needs to be worked on soon.
I hope this means someone sensible in one of the well funded militaries has thought about it and is building the required infrastructure to the scale of hundreds of millions of tonnes in secret so it can quickly scale to billions, but this seems like a stretch given who controls their purses.
