Jenny ChaseIf I had ten billion dollars to spend on combatting climate change, I'm honestly not sure what I'd do with it, and I rather think that if you are then you haven't really looked into the question.
(For obvious reasons this is not investment advice).
robinsonmeyer@solar_chase Agreed—I wrote about this when he first made the announcement a few years ago. It’s really hard! Nowhere is prepared to accept that level of spending. (Agreed with you about what possible options could look like, though.) https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2020/02/jeff-bezos-will-struggle-spend-10-billion-climate-change/606733/
Joel D@robinsonmeyer @solar_chase What about this earlier piece of yours, which purports to answer exactly this question?

@joeld @solar_chase it still requires a regulatory change, which is slightly out of scope of the question — under current law, you can’t lease a coal reserve (at least in the US) without planning to exploit it
