OK, works for me.
Trees and rocks. Yabadabadoo.
Electricity-generating plants aren’t a problem. We can sequester the CO2. That is, capture the CO2 and then send the CO2 deep into the earth, even use the CO2 to frack oil and gas fields.
The beauty of using CO2 from electrical plants to frack is that the cost of the process pays for itself in new supplies of energy. This makes sense regardless of climate change.
So, we can get all the electricity we ever want from coal, for hundreds of years even. We have so much coal!
Cars and other modes of transportation are another thing. Electric cars don’t work well enough. The batteries are heavy and expensive, and they can’t be recycled. Sorry. Electric cars aren’t the answer.
But we have an answer for transportation: trees. We can use trees to pull the CO2 out of the atmosphere, that our cars, trucks, trains, planes, ships, etc., put in.
The beauty of trees is that regardless of global warming, trees make sense. We can reverse the spread of deserts in the world even without bringing in water, by planting trees. And, if we bring in water, the effects would be greater. The deserts in Africa, Australia, the Gobi desert in China, and our own southwest can all be reclaimed for grazing land, if we plant trees.
Any way, carbon sequestration and trees is how Boris Johnson gets the U.K. carbon neutral; and, it’s how we can. We can take the climate change issue off the table. We don’t have to collapse our economy or reduce our standard of living or have to deal with car batteries, wind turbine blades or solar panels that cannot be recycled.
Trees - The Renewable Resource.
Am I dating myself enough?

So the solution is to sequester CO2 and plant more trees?
More trees need more CO2, but you bury the CO2 they need to live, make O2, and reproduce. Does that make sense?
The whole ‘climate change’ thing is a scam started in the 70s to make British coal miners work for their then current wage or less. Now ‘climate change’ has become big business, to the detriment of birds bats and humans - not to mention the environmental mining and manufacturing disasters needed to make the parts, batteries and then dispose of them when they wear out.
“The beauty of using CO2 from electrical plants to frack is that the cost of the process pays for itself in new supplies of energy. “
Look up project Tundra. It will rely completely on government paying for every ton of CO2 sequestered. It’s a 100% drag on the US taxpayers.
