MIT Tech Review details INDXcoin fraud and new solar geoengineering research roadmap

A Big Story investigation from MIT Technology Review, done with Type Investigations, examines how pastor Eli Regalado and his wife launched INDXcoin after claiming divine instruction, raising over $3 million from more than 500 people before the project collapsed within a year with investors losing everything. Separately, the nonprofit Reflective has published a detailed plan outlining the experiments and infrastructure needed to better understand solar geoengineering before any real-world deployment decisions are made.

Reflective releases $370M-$1.4B roadmap for solar geoengineering research

Reflective, a nonprofit funding solar geoengineering studies, published a research roadmap for stratospheric aerosol injection outlining what scientific work is still needed before governments could make informed deployment decisions. The plan estimates coordinated research would take about a decade and cost roughly $370 million, versus 20 years and nearly $1.4 billion if uncoordinated, and it recommends conducting outdoor experiments releasing sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere.
