It would be horribly inefficient compared to nearly every other use of that energy imaginable.
The movie might still be good but not because of the plot. But hey, it worked for The Matrix.
- jjoonathan 4y agoYes, that's why I described it as a movie. We have a lot of high-carbon energy substitution to do before DCC makes sense anywhere, let alone in the middle of an ocean, but before people trash DCC too hard I wanted to gently remind everyone that 1: industrial processes work better at scale, and 2: nature gives us magic rocks containing obscene amounts of low-carbon energy, so "inefficient" isn't necessarily a condemnation once we get past the energy substitution phase of decarbonization. I applaud the people working to de-risk the technology today so that when the time is right it can get off the ground.
