Building a World Without Carbon Requires Megaproject Thinking - Roosevelt Institute
rooseveltinstitute.org
One of the biggest mistakes we can make in the current moment is to assume climate change is only an environmental problem—one that we will address at some time in the future. Climate change is an everything problem. It affects our economy, national security, health, competitiveness, and communities right now, and how we respond to it sets the landscape on how the future unfolds. Clean industrial strategy for a problem this large requires the kind of thinking that goes into the construction of multibillion-dollar, multiyear megaprojects.

    It mostly requires a proper grid that is capable of dealing with lots of decentralized feed in and battery / vehicle-to-grid storage. You cant even use VHG in most western countries yet. Fucking abyssmally behind as usual with new tech. The cycle lifetimes are going up, the price per kWh is crashing. Just stop thinking in top down topology.
