Except people probably want rooftop solar.

OK I will also add to my list, roof top solar support.
Most of those fixes are feel good non solutions.
Most carbon sequester projects are a waste of time, money energy, chemicals and more money. The only carbon sequestration that would have worked was blocked by nimby useful idiots.
The one where the Colorado gas company wanted to seperate CO2 from natural gas and pipe it to depleted west texas oil fields.
But the nimby idiots got their way and the CO2 gets blown off into the atmosphere.
With cheap nuclear power electric cars won't need government welfare. If electric power is generated by more expensive wind, solar and natural gas then it's going to lessen the advantage electric cars have.
