Money is a social construct. We have to make this point stand out more if we want our children and grandchildren to have a livable planet.
Thus, the monetary cost of any technology is easily adjustable by regulation - taxes, carbon dividends, subsidies, etc.
The energy cost is what I’m more worried about because physics doesn’t care, it just does its thing, both ways. We’re at .25C of warming per decade due to CO2 and reduced sulphur emissions. If clathrates go, it’s going to be worse still.
I’m confident the global leaders will figure this out eventually, but I’m very afraid the tech won’t be there when the money stops being an issue.
