Cool idea but I wonder if in 100 years time, we have the opposite problem where corporations have built businesses around co2 removal and then they take too much.
Edit: not sure why people are downvoting. Climate change an example of unintended consequences. Curious what future unintended consequences we might encounter with this approach. Not saying we shouldn’t try it, but let’s try to think ahead a bit more than we did last century.
Doubt it. The major problem with these projects is they inadequately address the volume of carbon needed to make a meaningful impact, and then you have to come up with ways to store the carbon, which is equally problematic.
This to me is a way to allow businesses to continue polluting at increasingly higher numbers because now we will ‘supposedly’ have technology that will just captures it so they can keep on being dirty, or possibly feel ok with being even dirtier than they used to be.
