Quotes About Breakthrough

To avoid a climate disaster, we have to get to zero. We need to deploy the tools we already have, like solar and wind, faster and smarter. And we need to create and roll out breakthrough technologies that can take us the rest of the way.

At Breakthrough Energy, we fund only technologies that could remove at least 500 million tons a year if they're successful and fully implemented. That's roughly 1 percent of global emissions. Technologies that will never exceed 1 percent shouldn't compete for the limited resources we have for getting to zero. There may be other good reasons to pursue them, but significantly reducing emissions won't be one of them.

If we get a breakthrough in cheap hydrogen, for example, we might not need to worry as much about getting a magic battery.

Scientific Progress goes boink?

She had been impervious, and like all impervious things, it had taken, at the correct moment, only one look, one dream, to break in the bolted door.
