This is throwing money at an interesting problem with an incredibly low outcome of success.&lt;p&gt;Given the amount of public dollars already put into this without success and the amount of money they are going to have too continually pour into this to make it successful it seems like a serious hail mary.  Even if they do have the brightest minds working on it.  I wish them the greatest success - we need this.&lt;p&gt;To your point it&amp;#x27;s an incredibly privileged investing position to be in and to be honest - he can take a lot of the gains he has already had in &lt;i&gt;relatively&lt;/i&gt; uninteresting companies that have been successful and hope to something truly remarkable for humanity.</text><parent_chain><item><author>andrewcamel</author><text>This is the type of investing one (at least me) dreams of doing if you&amp;#x27;re fortunate enough to get to $B+ in net worth.

I wish I could invest my paltry funds into climate-focused ventures as part of a crowd of like-minded small-scale investors. So I am investing in things like renewable energy ETFs. But my impression (correct me if I’m wrong) is that I am investing in companies deploying proven technologies, rather than moonshots. I want to invest in moonshots, given the fact that I think we need moonshots in order for human civilization to survive. But a) I would need significant funds to do so, and b) realistically, I wouldn’t be able to evaluate those moonshots for technical and economic feasibility. It is a discouraging realization.</text><parent_chain><item><author>andrewcamel</author><text>This is the type of investing one (at least me) dreams of doing if you&amp;#x27;re fortunate enough to get to $B+ in net worth.
