Yeah, I sometimes wonder if the sorts of people with the competence to get any real climate policy through also tend to have much more of an awareness of geoengineering than the general public, and that’s why we’re seeing so little productive energy. (Probably not though, afaict!)
Having more awareness then the general public is a very low bar. The general public doesn’t know about it at all.
I would be surprised if that’s the case. I remember talking with someone who did lobbying for the German energy sector. When I asked him about Thorium-Moltan-Salt reactors he didn’t know what I was talking about.
It seems to me that lobbyists generally aren’t the kind of people who are up to date with futuristic tech solutions. They are rather occupied with the technologies that the companies that they lobby for actually develop.
