I work in this field specifically hoping to power CO2 removal in a sustainable way.

We absolutely need to reduce consumption as a species though, as whether we power cargo ships with solar or planes with batteries, we are collectively demanding too much from our planet.

It's frankly amazing the system hasn't fully collapsed by now.
