I love Popular Mechanics. I’m still waiting for the nuclear powered transport blimps I read about circa 1977.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

If some private company finds a way to do this and make a good profit from the byproducts (instead of being subsidized)- more power to them.

Colossal waste of time and money.
CO2 does NOT need to be “stored” or “sequestered”.

[AbeKrieger]

With the earth about to enter a 30 or more year ice age (scientific forcast du jour) I question the wisdom of all this. Perhaps we should let nature run its course, surely this is cyclical and no matter how much “damage” we have done we were unable to stop ourselves from freezing.

Of course this is likely all our fault too.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

I see this as quite viable, given about 350,000 years. Let’s rock! Ooops, no pun intended.

[TChris]

Notice: CO₂ is NOT a pollutant!

That is all.

[BraveNewCommie]

They should compress the CO2 in huge tanks. When the pressure reaches 3000 PSI they should release it up Al Gore’s a** until he expands to five times his normal size, then pops.

[Cheesel]

Hey, since it is CO2, why don’t we use it in soda?

[lonestar67]

This is a great idea but unfortunately, it would allow capitalism to continue to thrive, prosper and lift millions of people out of poverty.

This is simply unacceptable.

Please try again.

Here is an idea. We take all the scientists and politicians that support global warming. Throw them into an active volcano. They are then trapped in basalt for a million years and we don’t have to worry about global warming.

[greatplains]

This reminds me of those “B” disaster movies where the evil government or corporation pumps a bunch of stuff into the earth resulting in earthquakes, plate shifts etc., that a small ragtag but courageous crew (including some disenfranchised expert)must fix.

You can’t even make this stuff up anymore.

[Bryanw92]

Oh yeah. Let’s turn plant food into rock, because the Earth doesn’t have enough rock!

[BraveNewCommie]

Man, I was walking to work this morning, choking on all the CO2.

Just kidding! CO2 is an essential part of earth’s atmosphere. It is exhaled by humans/animals, then absorbed by plants/trees to grow.

I think I learned that in 3rd grade. Or was it 2nd grade?

But I’m still willing to pay $trillions to Al Whore and Omoslem the Dirty Jihadi so they can hand all our money to UN racketeers. /s

The storage problem has been solved. Now get to work on the transport problem. I propose a giant CO₂ absorption system that will sit atop the plenum to the Basalt pit. The gas removed at the site will lower levels everywhere.

[Mike Darancette]

We should be able to get at the sequestered CO2 when the ice begins to accumulate.

[SlowBoat407]

They'll need one of these for transporting it:

[editor-surveyor]

The insase thing here is that we need all the CO2 that we can get. - Anything that reduces CO2 is destructive, and should deserve the death penalty.

[montag813]

It is really heartbreaking to see how Popular Mechanics and Popular Science have been totaly co-opted by the Green Mafia. There are constant focus on the global warming fraud, and “green tech”, and a hostility to convential and nuclear powered methodologies.

Basalt Vaults Could Store CO2—And Turn it to Rock

So? Why waste the money?
