- mcny 3y agoWhich brings us to our original point, it is better if you are sincere to spend this money on electricity generation. In the US, we have over 20% of electricity coming from coal. Any money spent on anything else should first go toward pushing this down to zero.
- adrianN 3y agoI don’t think people suggest that carbon sequestration is an alternative to reducing emissions. It’s just that we have already emitted too much for net zero to be enough. We need to unburn a lot of coal to keep the planet comfortable.
- tsimionescu 3y agoRead this thread again. Plenty of people are suggesting it exactly for that purpose. Why do you think the biggest proponents and investors by far in the area are fossil fuel companies? The intended message, just like for geongnineering, is "keep burning oil, we'll figure it out another way".
