Yes, from a systems perspective, it makes sense to replace all fossil fuel before we start carbon dioxide removal technology because not doing so emits more CO2 overall. I was taught that by Dr. Joshi of Berkeley and Dr. Jacobson from Standford.
With that said, we have to do research on CDR technologies, and that involves a pilot plant. So, I believe an islanded system with renewable energy is better than an islanded system with fossil fuels. If political will was such that wind, water, solar, and storage was built out faster, we wouldn't have to worry about the above analysis that UCLA has done.
I don't think UCLA and Equatic are collaborating with Oil and Gas to keep fossil fuels on the grid.
Finally, I always learn from you, so I am never insulted. You are a very well respected MIT graduate! You have done wonderful things!
