      I was reading about how carbon capture from the air is going to be a trillion dollar industry. Just SMH. It’s so much easier to not emit than it is to recapture. But since we’ll never get China and India off of coal, I guess we have to do something.

        Not emitting is not that easy. We are in a transition period at the moment. Electric vehicles are here but we don’t have all the infrastructure needed to support them. Let alone the fact that battery tech is not developing as fast as we need it to.

        Right now liquid fuels still have the advantage of greater energy density. If we could move to hydrogen fuels that would be cool, and we could repurpose existing petroleum facilities.

        But who knows which way the tech is going to go. The only sure thing is that we are in for a wild ride one way or the other.

          I did, and so should everyone else that claims to want to do something about the climate catastrophe.
          Artificially grown meat is quickly becoming more and more viable, it’s not like it will be impossible forever to have a steak.
