Carbon removal was never sustainable in this decade. It’s green washing and people getting rich of subsidies
No no no. Fusion energy is going to be solved annnnyyy day now. I mean, they just had a reaction where more energy was produced than was given by the laser.

It was a scam. The heartbreaking thing is that it is almost certainly going to be required if we don’t want to face apocalyptic climate change.
Every single gram of carbon we dug up from the ground has to be put back if we would like to stabilize our climate at pre-industrial temps.
How are we going to develop the tech to do this enormous task now that we spent a decade running it as a scam? If we invented fusion tomorrow and never used another fossil fuel for ANYTHING, we are still completely and utterly fucked. Anyway have a great day!
If we invented cheap fusion tomorrow, carbon capture would instantly become a lot more viable.
But I’m not holding my breath on fusion.
Based on what science has proven so far, carbon removal is likely to remain a fantasy for several decades… At the very least, well beyond the time when we’re already at 3-4c.
