those people who do math discovered its a fucking crap shoot. even if it worked the roll out and deployment scene would make things worse.

wanna know what captures carbon?

trees

wanna know why they dont dive into that space as a solution? because the people who did the math already ran those numbers too.

we cant out plant the problem even if we planted 100x as many trees a year as we do today.

microsoft and google are the biggest investors in oil right now. this is because they can use machine learning on survey data (excessively compiled in the 70s) to extrapolate new oil sites.

in order for current society to maintain its current standard of living (ie gas prices, food prices, electricity prices, etc...) then oil production needs to double in the next ten years to meet the demand we know we will need just to keep this machine of capitalism going for billionaire profits.

carbon capture is an expensive pr stunt made to keep people docile just a little while longer...

how long do you think the big money machine will slow walk us to the edge of unhindered growth?

how many paper clips can you make from a human? Wanna see if capitalism will do the math on that?

You have a source for Microsoft and Google being the biggest investors in oil right now?

That video didn't show what you claimed. You said "the biggest investors in oil right now".

It does say that Google and Amazon are applying their technology toward better oil extraction in partnership with oil companies. Not something most of us celebrate, but not what you believed was there.

It also mentioned that they have shifted their own energy consumption toward being 100% renewable energy over the last 5 years. I note that Google is also committed to being fully renewable 24 hours per day, which is going next level on the effort.
