The primary culprits that add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere are the coal, oil, and natural gas — the fossil fuels — we consume for energy. There are two drivers behind coal’s decline: Natural gas and renewables. Hence, I wouldn’t spend any of Bezos’s money on trying to replace coal with natural gas.

Offshore wind energy powerhouse Orsted demonstrates that a pivot away from fossil fuels is possible. The first, biggest step to slowing climate change is switching electricity generation from coal and gas to wind and sun. This needs to happen fast, with coal phased out no later than 2030 and gas not far behind.
