Opinion by Gernot Wagner: Geoengineering research flights are a good federal investment
It is the opposite to prematurely deploying the technology. That’s what happened in April 2022 when an enterprising and deliberately provocative entrepreneur launched at least two balloons in the Mexican state of Baja California that may have released reflective sulfur particles in the stratosphere, a fact onlylate last year. Its founder told James Temple of MIT Technology Review: “We joke slash not joke that this is partly a company and partly a cult.
Raising around $750,000 in venture capital to sell “cooling credits” for these balloon flights, as his start-up has done, was a horrible idea. I say that as someone who posited such a scheme as “technically possible” and “economically feasible” in with geoengineering governance scholar Jesse Reynolds. We argued that it would be only a matter of time before someone somewhere would attempt it.all such solar geoengineering attempts. Sadly, that won’t stop this entrepreneur or others elsewhere from attempting similar stunts. Equally sadly, it may well deter legitimate, much-needed research. That’s particularly true in a country and world on edge about spy balloons.
