Re: [DIYbio] Why isn't there more talk on carbon sequestration?

I keep telling people at the Dept. of Energy that trying to pull CO2 out of the air is horribly expensive. The more dense the carbon you can capture, the more affordable it becomes - so capturing CO2 from a power station smoke stack is far more effective. 

By extension, by far the absolutely best form of carbon sequestration is to take coal and put it underground!

Not everyone at DOE can laugh at that joke. It's got too much truth to it...

LOL, because carbon sequestration is a terrible energy intensive process that only a madman would pursue.

Pardon my abrupt dismissal.  But it's a bad idea.  And I don't believe in giving bad ideas any validation.

I hear about climate change or global warming weekly or daily
sometimes, but I never hear about carbon sequestration. Even if it
wasn't solar powered, there's still excess capacity on the electric

farming/livestock-pasturing techniques.

Forget bitcoin, I want to make some carbon credits!
