Despite the investment being an unusual one for his family, Carbon Engineering’s solution intrigued him because its focus on mitigating climate change, and because of the political palatability of its solution.

Left-leaning investors and politicians like the fact that Carbon Engineering already has a scalable plan to reduce atmospheric carbon.
