I'm not sure I follow. Sequestering carbon doesn't make money in itself. Someone else has to pay them. And since it helps everybody and nobody in particular, people have to be convinced (or forced) to pay even though it doesn't personally benefit them. If we can't even trust the government to tax high-emission industry, who's going to fund CO2 sequestration? Social media?
