Some questions that should be asked about every new piece of tech:

- Does it actually work?
- What are its side effects, especially for ecosystems, communities and the physical/chemical state of the natural environment?
- What’s the lifetime carbon cost?
- What’s the lifetime energy cost? If renewables, how much capacity is that taking away decarbonising the grid?
- Will scale-up cause damage?
- Who benefits most from it and who will control/regulate it for the public good?
