       I'm curious about the science behind carbon capture. Is this really viable, or not? #climatechange https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/08/11/1077756/the-us-just-invested-more-than-1-billion-into-carbon-removal/

       @mattontech Long story short: no, it is not viable. extracting CO2 from the atmosphere requires ungodly amounts of energy.Slightly longer: you can plant trees, they are very good at doing that, and require minimal maintenance, but it would not give tech bros access to US.gov moolah.
