that's fucking rad.

The study, in Joule, was written by researchers at Carbon Engineering in Calgary, Canada, which has been operating a pilot CO2-extraction plant in British Columbia since 2015. That plant — based on a concept called direct air capture — provided the basis for the economic analysis, which includes cost estimates from commercial vendors of all of the major components. Depending on a variety of design options and economic assumptions, the cost of pulling a tonne of CO2 from the atmosphere ranges between US$94 and $232. The last comprehensive analysis of the technology, conducted by the American Physical Society in 2011, estimated that it would cost $600 per tonne.

Wtf do we do with the CO2 we pull out.

[Benjamin Franklin]

We power our paintball guns, obviously.

Also, I feel like it's still cheaper to just produce less CO2.

Probably, but taking CO2 out of the atmosphere alleviates Climate Change.

You're also stealing air from plants.
You Monsters!

Plants gave us salad.
Animals gave us bacon, hamburgers and chicken.

Sod plants, frankly.

But salad is what food eats.

Sell it to Britain.

In the case of coal gasification, the CO2 is sold off to the oil industry where it is used in CO2 flooding to increase oil production in mature fields.  The CO21 goes deep underground where it will stay.   This was a very viable idea when the price of natural gas was high.

As Joe Rogan says, green things grow from dirt, stupid things eat the green things and mean things eat the stupid things.

It alleviates green house gases, but not necessarily climate change. Some scientists are now warning that climate change may be irreversible within just a few years if we do nothing to prevent it.

Fair enough, I suppose I was trying to say that we can eliminate human’s footprint on the carbon cycle. The whole point of climate change cycles is that they reverse regularly. The only contention of anthropogenic climate change is that humans are hastening the cycle.
