One third of global emissions is a staggering quantity we presently can't even dream of, and it would buy us a lot of time. I'd take it.

(on another hand, everything that public discourse touches gets politicized to stupidity so I'm not sure if I'd rather have the public choose how to decarbonize concrete production or some magical alternative that does not involve the general public talking about it).
