Injection of CO2 into water happens naturally in the ocean. Unfortunately ocean didn't respond to any of the VC calls. Injecting CO2 into rocks "all by itself" is extremely slow because it's exothermic and because surfac

Any solution that draws electricity from the grid is a scam because it's better to shut it down along with the matching amount of power generation. Any solution that relies on scarce resources like fertile soil, freshwater or agricultu

Well try to write down a concrete chemical reaction to achieve this and you will be disappointed. Light atoms like carbon don't like to stay close to each other at room temperature. You need to pour a lot of energy into chemical bonds

No. If cheap energy production wasn't a huge challenge we wouldn't have the CO2 challenge either. It is the same challenge essentially. You can say it's "96% the same challenge" if you want to take concrete into equ

No, because capturing the CO2 from the atmosphere at 0.04% concentration takes much more energy.

That is true, but it also plagues all other energy-generating industries (both green and fossil), and in general I'd say virtually all industries. Incidents are denied and swept under the rug, environment and health effects are severel

That is simply false, both short-term and long-term. Short-term they explicitly chose produce more co2 emissions in 2022, not to decrease economic activity. They "procure enough energy just fine" by burning coal. Long-term Germany

I think at some point it was deemed acceptable for the tail mounted engines as they are higher off the ground (and also further away from the terminal). Some of it is even captured on video https://youtu.be/zG_u_B5d7cQ

Planes don't stop with the reverse thrust, only slow down to 100-120km/h. If you use it a lower speed there's a real risk of lifting a piece of debris off the runway and sucking it into the engine intake. This is why we have

No, not binary. I love the House of the Dead and the Gambler, but Brothers is a soap opera with a few great chapters and passages hiding inside. They don't make the overall experience worth it though.
