> My argument is fairly simple. The easiest way to get CO2 out of the atmosphere is to not put it there in the first place.>We should be all of this money (and much more) to transition off of fossil fuels as quickly as possible. The sooner we electrify everything and get rid of fossil fuels the sooner we can start putting a dent int to 30+ GTonnes/year of CO2 we produce.

Again. Even if we stop ALL EMISSIONS NOW, and blow up every fossil fuel facility on the globe, we need use DAC to remove accumulated CO2.



And again. DAC is being pushed by fossil fuel companies right now as a way of delaying us from stopping the burning of fossil fuels.

I’m not saying we don’t remove CO2 from the atmosphere. I’m saying we focus our efforts on not adding more before removing what’s there.


Here's a hot take: we do both. Stop adding it. Also, remove it.
