And guess where they will get it?
Beat me to it!

So, we can put a black box on our car’s tailpipe, run the fuel that comes out of it to the fuel tank (after we put a solar panel on the roof), and drive forever.
These guys must have skipped physics class when thermodynamics and friction were discussed.
Next they will discover if you hook a generator to an electric motor, you have a perpetual motion machine.
Hmmmmm ..?? What are the trees and plants going to do when their main life force (CO2) is removed from the air ..????
And .. what are humans going to do when the trees do not have enough CO2 (carbon dioxide) .. in order to produce Oxygen for humans to breathe ..??????????
Guess all those genius scientists have not figured that out yet .. Hmmmmm ..???????????????
What needs to be removed is CARBON MONOXIDE (FROM CARBON FUELS) .. NOT DIOXIDE (which is what we exhale).
NOW .. does anybody understand why the “scientists” keep insisting it’s the humans who are causing all the problems .. and they have to find a way to punish us for BREATHEING.
Trees are cheaper.
“The full system is relatively energy-intensive”
Reading the process description, this is an energy pig. They should burn cheap natural gas to provide the power :)
Maybe we can get a final estimate on when this carbon capture device will have recovered enough carbon to account for its own existence on day one of its life. That way, we'll have a good idea of the anticipated utility of the project.
Museum quality dumb
A solution in search of a problem.
“The full system is relatively energy-intensive, which means that cheap, low-carbon power generation, most likely from solar power, will eventually be needed to make the energy economics work.”
In that case, why not just connect the solar power directly to the grid and use if for charging electric vehicles directly, and skip the nonsense of wasting all of that solar power on carbon recycling?
Whaddaya mean losses? All system losses are made up for by a huge influx of taxpayer funded grants.
How many kilowatts does that thing require, and what is the net carbon capture? How long before gaseous carbon dioxide sublimates from the liquid suspension? Questions a non-college indoctrinated person might ask.
