heck yeah let's do that! Solar tech has gotten so much cheaper and better, my friend is replacing what used to be $30k of panels for $2k.

Hey jrv, here's 2 resources for you to get more inspiration: http://bit.ly/airminersresources http://airminers.org this is you: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ABg0c_E7OOI looking fo…

heck yeah! "what can a technologist do about climate change" is my daily mantra.

Politicians are powerless without good technology options. Today, the technology options are not good. but good options are within sight. As a technologist, let's go make better te…

Glad you asked! Basically, imagine I told you not much had been built and climate folks don't really "get" software. It's true. The same revolution that connected software and biot…

woohoo, 3 new applications so far!

Fascinating! Anyone got a good source for the 103 tons per acre stat? All I've found so far is the Bloomberg link, which I think is from the World Tree Website (the company spotlig…

Fun fact: Planes are efficient for long trips. According to “sustainable energy without the hot air”, you need three people in a gas car to beat the efficiency of flying on a long …

We have time to invent a fix. We can’t continue to wait for a policy change to change the world. Technologists have the opportunity to build new solutions, improve renewable energy…

100% this! Googling for jobs is free and easy. See what's in your neighborhood. Working 40+ hours a week on solutions is the best way to up your climate game.

I like your framing -- subtractive vs additive. Reminds me of additive manufacturing (3D printing)

Direct air capture to make consumer carbon products.

Hack direct air capture hardware. Establish a growth curve for air capture like Moore's Law. Do mashups. AI + climate, Biotech + climate, VR + climate. Be curious.
