Economics looks a lot like entropy. We know of no way to do economically valuable work by burying carbon.
- jeffbee 4y agoThe economic benefits of controlling the climate should be fairly obvious. What you really meant is that we don't know how to make carbon capture enrich the specific person of Charles Koch, yet.
- lovemenot 4y agoNope, I get your meaning and it wasn't mine. I see economic processes like physical ones. Water flows downhill, never up. Sure, there are huge spectacular waterfalls like your most hated billionaire. But that's essentially still the same downhill flow process as a meandering wide river. We can discuss the best route from top to bottom. Fine. Perhaps I too would prefer to avoid such precipitous drops. But the issue here is that we have the need for uphill flow.
