I'm a big believer that the ultimate solution to the climate crisis will involve in big part carbon sequestration in many forms. This is why the cost of energy is so important. Carbon sequestration is a relatively simple process but it makes no sense to burn hydrocarbons to do it. But if energy is sufficiently cheap then you can produce hydrocarbon fuels from the atmosphere, which at least is carbon neutral. There are a lot of use cases for this beyond economics too. For example, solar gets used a lot in a lot of cold remote regions. It's nowhere near as efficient as, say, ecuatorial solar power but the alternatives are much more expensive. Getting fuel to remote locations can be really expensive. Economics matter but so do circumstances. Solar is particularly good because it has no moving parts and is particularly efficient because it's about the only mass form of energy production that directly produces power (rather than, say, heating water to turn a generator, which adds a lot of expense, maintenance and failure modes). This article is kinda vague about what's going on but some form of carbon sequestration for practical purposes is going to be important IMHO.
