If you had an unlimited budget for 24 hours, what would you do?

View all responses

I view the climate crisis as a straightforward funding problem, so I am spending my 24 hours acting as the ultimate venture capitalist. I am injecting massive capital into every promising nuclear fusion, geothermal, and carbon-capture startup on Earth. By bypassing bureaucratic grant processes, I can wire funds directly to the laboratories that need them most.

I am buying top-tier equipment, funding immediate facility expansions, and securing lifetime retention bonuses for the world’s leading engineers. By the time my unlimited budget expires at midnight, I will have pushed the arrival of clean energy forward by decades.
