Too true, wondering when this absurdly off target talking point is going to be discarded

Fantastic thread! Thanks for sharing

An interesting strategy to compete on price and accuracy.

I agree, but the answer isn't less technology the only way to solve this is with better tech

Interesting piece

Totally agree on this point. As an American who spent the last year working in Westminster this was always something I never understood.

It's called Dutch disease. The financial center has a distortive effect on the allocation of resources in the country, including talent.

Agreed! when I first started lurking on HN this threw me for a loop, but slowly getting used to it :)

Why can't you have both?

Fuels made from carbon filtered from the air are expensive. Like... not a bit more expensive, but really expensive.

While there's some uncertainty about how expensive - this is technology that doesn't exist today - it's gonna require massive amounts of energy, which is simple physics.

It doesn't really make sense to make fuels from CO2 drawn from the atmosphere if we're still pumping oil. Instead, make jet fuel from the oil, then make that carbon neutral by capturing and sequestering the CO2. This will change if green hydrogen becomes very cheap, but not yet.
