Royal Society Report: Geoengineering Is A Really Bad Idea
Key Takeaway
The scientific community's strong caution against geoengineering means the energy sector must double down on proven decarbonization strategies and technologies to address climate change.
AI Summary
- •A Royal Society report strongly advises against geoengineering due to significant climate and political risks, indicating this will not be a primary climate solution.
- •This reinforces the energy industry's continued reliance on conventional decarbonization strategies, such as renewables, storage, and grid modernization, to meet climate goals.
- •For developers and large power consumers, this means sustained pressure and opportunity in established clean energy technologies and procurement methods (e.g., PPAs) will persist, without a geoengineering 'silver bullet' emerging.
