I'm confused, I searched for both "crypto" and "web3" on that page and there are no results?
Then may I ask why you're shoehorning it into the conversation in such an unsubstantial way? Seems more like a cheap jab than a worthwhile opinion.

#72I've worked in "climate intelligence" for many years. The list overlooks one of the largest and most immediate opportunities around that market: the data infrastructure and analysis tools we have today are profoundly unfit for purpose. Just about everyone is essentially using cartography tools to do large-scale spatiotemporal analysis of sensor and telemetry data. The gaps for both features and practical scalability…

#74Do people really believe we can innovate our way through climate change?
There's still some politicss to overcome, but if the cheapest source of energy is low carbon then the problem is mostly solved in the big picture. As long as we don't hit too many tipping points we should be okay.

#75Funny that after so many years of funding and encouraging crypto mining the VC industry now decides to go "green".

#76Some thoughts: 1. We know for a fact that mangroves can mitigate tsunami damage. I've been looking into this and a lot of tree-planting programs really suck and are basically failures. Additionally mangroves are tropical plants and -- so far -- I am failing to find an alternative for colder climates. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/10/051028141252.h... 2. We certainly need energy solutions and I'm happy to…

#77Earlier quoted context omitted.
I would be a great disaster if Tesla or HP produced water boilers. If would be success if Brother or raspberry pi made them.
The idea of "HP Instant Ink"-like subscriptions for home appliances is vomit inducing.

Honestly, I'm not very mad at instant ink because the printer market was so broken. A subscription for another appliance would be pretty maddening, though.

#80>Low or zero emissions concrete Feels like there's already options there. https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/green-tech/a4078516... https://cen.acs.org/materials/Chemex-goes-global-carbon-neut... Although I'm betting it's better to just radically cut demand rather than try to invent a really good carbon-neutral/negative concrete. If we could sink a whole bunch of carbon into concrete though (significant carbon…
Making the world cut demand for concrete might actually sound dramatically harder than making zero-emission concrete. (and both are extremely hard!)
