    The ideal carbon sequestration site is an olivine deposit, which readily uptakes it and mineralizes it. There hasn’t been any effort put into actually doing it because it doesn’t produce more oil.

    There’s a contingent of people here on hexbear who will throw the baby out with the bath water and decree that we must live with a ruined atmosphere instead of doing anything about it, and that doing anything about it is being an oil company shill, but it’s fine because they’re not researchers and won’t have any impact on carbon capture and sequestration.

    The current paradigm isn’t going to produce solutions because the current paradigm is the problem. But, that doesn’t mean that we should give up on fixing what’s been broken. After all, in these dark times, should the stars also go out?
