That won't be necessary as fossil fuel is limited anyway. We're already past peak oil. Eventually we will have burned it all.
But I agree it's a technological bridge too far. I could see it help to fix the damage already done (and the damage to be done before we can move to fully renewable) but I don't think it's realistic.
But I don't think other mitigation methods like carbon capture are realistic either (not at a scale to actually matter).
- adastra22 4y agoPeak oil is/was a myth. There is at least an order of magnitude more oil than we could ever burn without causing a runaway greenhouse effect. Peak oil as a concept only ever made sense if you assumed a static price of oil. There are immense reserves when the price per barrel rises, or when new technology like fracking opens up new reserves.
