No. The cost of technology does fall even when not produced. Correlating technologies help drive down the price of research and/or production when the technology is finally decided to be researched.

SRS. The cost of technology only falls when that technology is produced - sitting on our hands isn't going to make removing CO2 cheaper - investing in cheaper ways to remove CO2 is going to make removing CO2 cheaper.

Also your link is broken so I can't see where that number came from but it better have some pretty good methodology to back it up, otherwise it would seem like a person just playing with stats.

One of the big ideas for preventing climate change was to launch mirrors into space. Various space travelling projects over the next 40 years, and general drop in the price of mirrors (lol) will drop the cost of this potential solution without any direct investment.

That's just one example, but there's others.
