Recycling and right to repair. If we could reclaim ~100% of raw materials in a useful way and avoid unnecessary waste it would have a big climate impact.

I mean, it's not like we don't know how to do that. But selling you a whole new thing every year or two is much more profitable than selling you one thing that lasts you a lifetime.

Cryptocurrency.

Kidding! Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I'm sure that will ruffle someone's feathers for a fraction of a second.

Does vegan based meat/milk alternatives count as a technology sector? The moment we figure out a way to actually seriously imitate high quality steaks and 2% cow milk with it being indistinguishable and half the price I think that will hurt factory farming which is a bit of a domino effect that would lead to less co2 and methane produced, less agricultural effort wasted on feeding animals, that kind of thing.

My thoughts exactly. If we could make solar panels more effective and cheaper in addition to having a way to store and quickly discharge that energy safely, we could power houses, cars, etc all without emission. Would love it if the batteries didn't have short lives as well.

Theres some cool solid state battery tech on the horizon, but it always seems to be on the horizon and never actually showing up.

Medicine (i.e. research into cures for illnesses we can't cure yet) seems like just about the only thing that's worthwhile. Most of our modern issues aren't really about not having the right technologies, but about billionaires being greedy.

Tech Debt. So many of these companies investing in AI are doing so at the expense of out dated, broken shit that AI will never address.
