For debate: The multi-trillion-dollar green tsunami 🌊 seem "Good". But unfortunately the closer you look, the higher lobbying and corruption are at play. And the more its outcomes are questionable.
Well done Djoann. I suspect it goes over most people's heads due to the complexity of the issues, but you did a great job unpicking the tangle. In the hope more people will read and digest this I have reported it on my Linked In profile with link to you and attribution included. One aspect I believe we may be missing is that the current DAC/ CCU focus is likely to also be part of a concerted IR/PR/GR strategy leading up to COP 28 in Dubai. I suspect, with the highest attendance by Big Oil lobbyists and a COP 28 chair who is the chief of ADNOC, there will be a lot of lyrical waxing on about CCU and DAC to provide cover for the rolling back of fossil fuel reduction provisions. CCU and DAC will prove to fail in another 10 - 20 years but by then the terminal damage will already have been done.
I look forward to your EV essay. It sounds like we are well aligned on these topics. Keep it up.
