If you build enough solar and wind to kick fossils off the grid, they’re going to overproduce at times of peak operation. Rather than wasting that peak production, use it to process CO2.
Also, Canada’s forests burned so hard, they were a net emitter this year. I’m not sure how reliable a carbon sink trees really are as the warming gets worse…
You need nuclear, too. There isn’t enough solar and wind manufacturing and deployment capacity for the foreseeable future to eliminate fossil use. There is no solution to climate change which does not involve significant numbers of new nuclear builds.
Geothermal. It doesn't matter where you put up those carbon capture facilities. Meaning you could put them in the desert, you could them next to some vulcanos...and so on.
And nuclear builds are a waste of carbon...all that steel and concrete is most of the time not calculated when co2/kwh gets...well, calculated
Wow.
Be more wrong.
Seriously, try; I’ll wait.
They pull it out of the atmosphere, and release it when burned (or rotting etc.).
Far better than putting new co2 in the atmosphere.
