Win/Win
Diamonds are nearly worthless though. Still, we could use them in industrial purposes at least, I guess.
Carbon nanotubes is what you want to make.
The sad thing is that this is sounding like a more realistic solution than, say, not burning any frackin coal.
Vantablack for everyone!
Well we have to be politically realistic! Iâm sure the CO2 will accommodate us.
Actually new coal starts have been declining year over year for a few years now. China and India are scaling back construction of new plants and delaying or cancelling construction in progress.
This doesnât mean less coal plants. Just slower growth of coal plants. Total coal demand continues to rise, especially due to these two countries.
China expects to peak in a decade or so, I guess India has decades more energy demand growth ahead.
We are reducing the rate at which we increase the rate at which we are screwing the planet. Progress!
Third derivatives FTW.
I think it goes further than that. Older coal plants arenât being replaced, so we are trending downward.
And in the US coal plants have been converted to nature gas plants.
Carbon emissions set to hit record high
Global emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels and industry are projected to rise by more than 2% in 2018, to a new record. The increase is mainly due to sustained growth in oil and gas use, according to the Global Carbon Project.
âThe 2018 rise in fossil CO2 emissions place us on a trajectory for warming that is currently well beyond 1.5 °C,â says Corinne Le QuĂ©rĂ© of the University of East Anglia, UK. âIt is not enough to support renewables. Efforts to decarbonise need to be expanded throughout the economy.â
Emphasis mine. Itâs all well and good that natural gas has replaced coal, but oil and gas are still fossil fuels, and we still consume too much. Thatâs why IMO fracking is undesirable (and in North Dakota, they actually flare off so much natural gas it looks like this:
Another reason to hate corporate America.

Thank you for posting that amazing speech.
Sheâs awfully talented for such a young crisis actor, amirite??
Iâve heard that Sweden has been taken over by the Muslim terrorists.
Well, them and death metalers.
This is Sweden now.
Yep. Uncle Elmer says so.
Hey guys, itâs fine. Venus has way more CO2 than Earth, and itâs doing ok.
This is not a parody account.
