“German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, says that “carbon capture and storage” (CCS) can be done safely in the saltwater and limestone pores at 600 to 1,200 meters below the seabed. “It will either dissolve as carbonic acid or bind with the limestone,” she says. Injection sites in the North Sea are the German government’s main solution for so-called “unavoidable emissions,” like those from the cement and other industries”

Basically another subsidy harvesting scheme
There isn’t even the expectation that the co2 will stay in porous limestone, but instead end up making the oceans more acidic, which is already a problem with elevated atmospheric co2 levels

A crisis of excess consumption & growth can’t be solved, by growing in a slightly different way

Project 2025 = Powell memorandum 2.0

We aren’t going to solve a crisis of excess consumption, with slightly different consumption
Example:
Replacing a 200hp ice vehicle with a 500hp electric vehicle isn’t more sustainable, less actually

Extractive resources are greatly undervalued
Socializing the costs & privatizing the profits is the root
Example:
Once you punch holes through the aquifer, there is no repairing the damage, just temporary solutions that last decades not hundreds or thousands of years
As long as we use whatever the market will bear valuation, disconnected from the true long term costs & value added, the results will continue to do little to solve the issues

I have the occasional beer I’m on year two of LSV [low speed vehicle] 25mph max, 30 mile range. The GEM does what I need it to do. Old & retired, so my requirements are minimal, maybe 100 miles a month. I heard lots of opinion that the low speed would invoke road rage. I find that driving the GEM is much like towing a RV, if there are more than a couple of cars, I pull over & let them pass. Mechanically & electrically basic. Everything is smaller & lighter, so I can do the minor maintenance. The difference in travel time is minimal. Easier to drive safely as my physical skills decline.

Not really a climate solution, more of a pragmatic conservation of my personal resources.

A good start would be greatly restricting the speed, power & performance of vehicles allowed to be registered on the street. Wanna drive 0-60 in 3 seconds & three times the speed limit, go to the race track

Biodiesel to start up & run on fryer oil once it’s warmed up
