i can think of three uses for excess CO2 moondog Send a noteboard - 21/02/2013 03:16:42 PM
It just keeps it sealed up instead of putting it into the atmosphere. So you're stuck with tons (literally) of this gas. What do we do with it?

Neat idea, and I hope it turns out to work well, but there's a lot missing right now.

I like your ashes to ashes idea more.


1. dry ice
2. carbonation in beverages
3. making plants grow

it's kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy actually. we send the CO2 to colorado and washington to assist their now-legal marijuana industry. smoking weed gives people the munchies, thus boosting the soda/beer industry and creating a larger demand for their products. and what stoner doesn't think watching dry ice melt is a totally awesome way to spend a couple hours?

This could mean great news for me personally Timthetrolloc - 20/02/2013 09:50:39 PM 697 Views
I wonder if it could work on other fuels? Isaac - 20/02/2013 10:18:08 PM 725 Views
Uh, not quite... HyogaRott - 21/02/2013 02:45:03 AM 595 Views
Do we also need our oceans to be 30% more acidic? *NM* Roland00 - 21/02/2013 03:40:19 AM 404 Views
But the CO2 levels in our atmosphere are 20% higher than 50 years ago Floffe - 21/02/2013 08:49:29 AM 798 Views
There's a certain irony to being criticized on this one from that sector Isaac - 21/02/2013 05:37:37 PM 775 Views

No problem *NM* Isaac - 21/02/2013 10:47:10 PM 294 Views
It seems pretty dubious. It still produces CO2. Ghavrel - 21/02/2013 10:02:55 AM 595 Views

Every single one of those increases atmospheric carbon. Ghavrel - 22/02/2013 12:39:00 AM 604 Views
The technology is still a big improvement over current methods. Aemon - 21/02/2013 05:01:31 PM 613 Views
Oh, I agree. My point is just that sequestration will remain an issue. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/02/2013 12:39:25 AM 287 Views
Well dense CO2 is easier to get rid of Isaac - 21/02/2013 06:08:33 PM 584 Views
Pretty sure putting it in the dirt would increase atmospheric levels, though. EDIT: Never mind. Ghavrel - 22/02/2013 12:40:38 AM 607 Views

Probably too little, too late. Dannymac - 21/02/2013 04:09:45 PM 677 Views
The excessive regulation is on coal use, not production. HyogaRott - 21/02/2013 05:00:28 PM 626 Views
