1. Generate large amounts of carbon-free energy
2. Use the excess energy to sequester CO2 out of the air.
Now if only there was a proven technology to consistently generate lots of energy that is clean, safe and has plenty of readily available fuel...
- Accujack 7y agoI noticed this too. In addition to planting forests that we then harvest and convert to biochar at peak rather than letting them decay and release carbon back to the cycle, we need to use energy intensive means to capture carbon. I have seen one proposal linked on HN that suggested direct use of a nuclear reactor's energy to do it... something like that would have the necessary power (pardon the expression) to make a dent in atmospheric CO2. Essentially, we need to build machines like the ones on LV427 in the movie "Aliens"...large structures that are essentially nuclear reactors with some extra equipment to use all their energy to terraform.... Terra.
