Not in this economy

• bryanlarsen 4y ago
  In an optimal economy it would be. Climate change will cause many tens of trillions of dollars in damages and/or mitigations. Halting climate change would cost < $10T. A world that was spending $10T to stop climate change would be incentivizing carbon capture, among many other things. It would also disincentivize oil production. If you were paid substantial money to store atmospheric carbon and oil was really expensive, then turning atmospheric carbon into stable plastic could be highly profitable.
