I am not quite sure how to respond to your comment. What the technologies described here are trying to deal with is removing carbon from the atmosphere to mitigate the greenhouse effect. It is about living within our existing means. The alternative is for us to close the existing energy generating infrastructure and see if we can accommodate to less. I don’t see that as a win-win strategy. Do you?

The answer is not, and never will be “more”. That’s like trying to fix a knife wound by stabbing the patient again and again. It will never work. Even “efficiency” will not work (Jevon’s Paradox).

You cannot keep fueling a civilization that is going to just go on escalating emissions, ruining natural resources (forests, topsoil, oceans, atmosphere) and claim it’s “going to get better because you found a way to make better energy or more energy” (or a profit).

It’s going to get worse, always. Every time. The endless growth paradigm is doomed. And so are we, because this is the “best” answer humans are only willing to consider.

It’s the wrong answer.
