Individual geoengineering project failures still serve the broader neoliberal project.

Evidence

Once the relevant corporations and scientists get all their legal property claims in a row, and unless environmentalists can mount some further serious obstacles, I have no doubt something like SPICE will go forward. But in the meantime, temporary failure of this or that particular geoengineering project is entirely consistent with the success of the neoliberal political project. For the ultimate objective of the exercise is to rely upon the market, the only dependable source of knowledge concerning the roiling chaos of evolving nature, in the face of similar complexity of its interaction with society. — Philip Mirowski, Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste, 935
