but much less so than oil. sucks for counties that have less than zero exports other than oil
The points they’re making are not wrong. We should be paying attention to the lifecycle emissions of green energy facilities (that isn’t the same thing as not building those facilities). And we should be putting more resources into development of direct CO2 capture; the argument raised in the article, that CO2 capture is bad because it will draw attention from the green transition, is laughably stupid.
And we should be putting more resources into development of direct CO2 capture.
We already have working systems for that, they are called trees and phytoplankton.
Trees and phytoplankton keep the carbon around.
Cut the tress and place in abandoned mine.
Carbon removed from cycle and it works now.
Conducting a never-ending program of global mass deforestation has other environmental costs.
