Yea it’s pretty sad. Also ironic how k9 cops “form a bond” but a family pet (practically a family member) is considered property. I’m not sure but I think it’s “assaulting an officer” if it’s a cop dog or horse; not saying harming either of those are ok- just pointing out the double standard. To quote The Dude- “fucking cops man.”
I haven’t done the math but I studied a lot energy stuff for my degree. I can say for sure that’s it’s a hell of a lot more money and work than just reducing emissions in the first place. The below comment is accurate, if cynical; I knew someone who works on it in the states. You collect a bunch of co2 (using energy), then compress it (with energy), then ship it (yep diesel trucks), to salt caves where it is pumped (with energy) into the empty salt lined cave where the pressure causes the salt to sort of seal in a partial melt from the pressure. And hope we don’t accidentally frack it all back out. Needless to say I think it’s a waste of technology, money, and political will that’d be better spent on a plethora of other options.
