" double the amount of solar energy installed every year over the next four years and then double it again by 2030 "
so:
2022 2x
2023 2x
2024 2x
2025 2x
2026 1.2x
2027 1.2x ...
2031 1.2x
So, if we adopt this plan, within 4 years, our cumulative effort will start to substantially decline.
Where do I sign up?

Nope. Once again, ill informed engineering mindset of destructive technology.

There are many constructive technologies and processes that do not trade tomorrow for today.

So the issue is in 200 years; while this worthless bit of tech junk will be in a landfill before the decade is out. Good trade.

This is the exact sort of narrow passes-for-thinking that got us here in the first place. The environment has many levels of buffers to offset our stupidity -- we just have to stop destroying them for a few decades or centuries until we get through this.

Energy capture devices reduce CO2 output (which isn't really an issue in Iceland, btw). This is an attempt to build an artificial tree, which will have a net negative CO2 footprint.

The real question is why make artificial ones, when natural one's can be clearly made more abundant?

It is wonderful that we are working on this problem; and I think research like this is invaluable.

The technical shiny is that this is the equivalent of 20 hectares of forest. It costs about $USD 3000 / hectare; so the equivalent capture system could be constructed for about $USD 60 000.

Is there any expectation that these artificial de-co2 processing plants will eclipse the efficiency, and greater good of caring for our forests? Can the technophiles be convinced to stop pouring money into the religion of tech, and just do something useful instead?

One day, with a lot of luck, you will have a partner who can help explain to you the difference between trivia ( oh no, google thinks it knows where I am ) and a sadistic assault.

Fair enough, but all the froth about what "HuaWei + PRC might do" demands a calming dose of what âoeCisco+USA actually didâ.

Also, why could they only get quadruple by sampling more? Is this an intrinsic property of giant viri or is there a hidden process which takes control at this point? So many questions.

When slagging apple is trendy, they will slag apple.

Where well working market is a measure of the real world conforming to their theory. Slightly reminiscent of high school physics experiments where the uncertainty permitted nearly any explanation for observed phenomena.

QNX is a component; they donâ(TM)t make jeeps. The system most likely runs on an Ti/ARM; did anybody at Ti or ARM ask if the Jeep was immune to hacking?

The customer is the right person to ask.
Cust: Is this car immune to hacking?
Sales: yes.
Cust: Where, in the warrantee does it say that?
Sales: uhm...

1993 qnx ran fine on a 286. The 32bit version was still a few years away at that point. 286 + 2M ram made for a decent development machine.

As you understand Rush? How do you navigate that exquisite maze of nuance and insight? Do you have to be a sell out junkie to really get it?

Sounds a lot like public transit, like sitting on an inside seat in a plane, without the sap next to you mistaking the reclining chair for a therapy couch.
