True. But I keep up with what they are doing. And building really new stuff is incredible hard. Terraform now has about 50 open positions on their website, so it seems that they are busy doing things. And their bet on cheap solar could be a win www.pv-magazine.com/2025/06/05/f...

So if sequestration is scarce, RFNBO is still to expensive and degrowth seems no option, I just want to mention Prometheus Fuels and Terraform Industries that work on cheap RFNBO. Here's an on-site visit at Terraform, aiming at 'good enough' tech to scale (⬇️🪨-DAC) www.freethink.com/series/hard-...
