DAC is the biggest carbon scam there is and I know the fake forest protections exist. Why would you try to pull something at 400 ppm when you could go to any plant burning gas and get 40,000+ ppm?

I was referring to Direct Air Capture, where companies like Oxy are building plants in west Texas to try to pull CO2 out of the atmosphere and use it for enhanced oil recovery projects. On the larger scale, getting plant emissions is much easier, but more logistically challenging to get to storage. In the US, it takes a long time to get a Class IV permit (hopefully going down as there are more projects to make the EPA comfortable) and even then I'm not really sold on most projects being injection into saline aquifers.

Ramrod Hotshot posted:Does the abiotic oil theory have anything to it? That is, the idea (or conspiracy) I’ve read that oil and other hydrocarbons are actually produced in the earth’s mantle, and are thusly not fossil fuels? I read a paper published in a petroleum engineering journal from the 1920s going in to a long discussion about the origin of oil coming from igneous rocks. There was a reply letter that got dangerously close to plate tectonics decades before it was formally described. It also was mostly correct on how the oil probably came from organic matter that was buried at a much greater depth. Oil is almost entirely from algae buried in an anoxic environment that breaks down into oil at high pressure and temperature over geologic time frames. Organic material more substantial than algae generally only generates has, as does anytime else if the rock gets too hot and larger carbon molecules break down into smaller ones.
