"The Growing Market for Carbon Removal Solutions in the US"

A new report suggests that the US needs to spend roughly $100 billion annually on carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies to meet its climate goals, but this approach is risky, astronomically expensive, and may not be effective. The US is already investing in CDR, but experts argue that the focus should be on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and stopping deforestation first. The report highlights the challenges and limitations of CDR tactics, such as tree planting and carbon-capturing machines, and questions the wisdom of investing in these technologies without addressing the root causes of climate change.
