       #solutionismResearch pointing towards 100x cost reductions in space-based solar shades, suggesting very thin diffuse sheets of silicon dioxide nanotubes suspended in polymer, instead of reflecting light in the opposite direction, only slightly diverts it, requiring much less mass.It would make lagrange occulters feasible, though still much more expensive than sulfates, the reduction in side effects seems worth the cost to me.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/zero-pressure-space-sunshades-hein/id1529459393?i=1000601498629
