I posted this when I saw this on another community:
This is honestly probably more of a transition jobs program for oil workers and something designed to get a few extra votes in Congress. One of the projects is in my state (Louisiana) and the politicians all stressed how it’s creating jobs in the oil producing Southwest part of the state. And the other project is in East Texas. The companies even pinky swore that at least 10% of their workforce would be former oil workers.
In the end, I see this a low risk, high reward experiment that, while obviously used for greenwashing, also builds support for a green economy in places where oil jobs are the middle class ones.
I also could see this being a way to create specialized carbon-based fuels after the transition. Hopefully, it gets cheaper than drilling and can supply whatever “fossil” fuels are still around. (The world’s militaries probably aren’t gonna switch to green hydrogen and renewables by 2040.)

This just in…
GOP leaders have pushed through a measure outlawing all forms of vacuum cleaners.
I would rather them just spend 1.2 billion planting trees. Just plant a shitload of trees, that’s it.
Planting trees has a very minimal impact on the climate in the long term.
Trees are great. Except they love to burn. Either as a fuel, or as part of the forest fire.
That’s why I hate when the corporations do carbon offseting by planting trees.
Yeah what’s the percentage of all trees burning up? That’s kind of a dumb take.
I mean have you been reading the news lately about the multiple massive wildfires throughout the world?
Yes and with a 3rd of the Amazon chopped down. What do we have? Still a fuck ton of trees and need for a fuck ton more.
I don’t want to sound like a fatalist, but there is actually no upper limit.
Yeah this is a weird thing. It’s okay as a patch, but it also has to come with or even after an actual cure.
Plus I hope we use a space ship that transforms into a mega maid.
But what if she goes from suck to blow!?
That just sounds like literal greenwashing
That’s mental
Is there sound science to this? Or is this a entity profiting off of a pipe dream?
In this case, it’d be a pipeline dream.
Are you here all week? 😁
You know it; try the bartender and tip your veal.
