The Ledger
Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 4 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Patel: 100x scale drives 70% cost reduction across climate tech
“If you can drive a hundred X scaling, then you can drive 70% cost down. That appears to be a relatively consistent theme, regardless of the maturity of the technology.”
Patel: Scaling climate tech requires process engineering over pure science
“However, the capabilities and the requirements to move to the next levels of scaling and to do it as quickly as possible, they move very quickly from technical insight and technical capability, particularly scientific insight and scientific capability, into th…”
Patel: Carbon removal will become an industrialized sector in its own right
“I'm definitely a believer in the fact that we have to augment reduction with removal, both the engineered and the nature-based systems for hem carbon removal will and will need to become an industrialized sector in their own right.”
Patel: Perovskite solar remains in early innovation despite efficiency potential
“Solar PV is mature, is more mature. It's in well into our commercialization phases, but perovskite based solar applied to PV, which has the potential to raise Efficiency significantly, that's still there in that much earlier category.”
