> If we engage in the amount of carbon capture that is predicted to be necessary in the second half of the century, we will be moving the same order of mass of air-extracted carbon to its fins resting place each year that we are currently moving for fueling. So a massive massive economy is expected to be built around this
That whole uncosted industry is a fairy tale at this point. We dont gave political will to price carbon properly abd stop burning coal, there is no chance this industry will be funded
- epistasis 4y agoYour prediction does not take into account the cost of not building the industry. Right now in the US, the political climate is completely irrational, unscientific, and hyper-partisan because one of the major parties has been completely bight off and brainwashed their followers into ignoring rational thought. When the effects become more clear, and the actual costs of inaction become more clear, there is a good chance that humans will behave more rationally. Not certain, but it's a chance that we must plan for now.
