Direct air capture plant trying to fight climate change by sucking CO2 out of the air #shorts

This project is like taking a bucket of seawater out of the ocean and expecting sea levels to fall.

[jayhays]

Iceland is uniquely situated - with small population and heavy reliance on geothermal energy - to pursue a pilot plant like this.
Without geothermal, this thing doesn't get built.

What do they do with the captured co 2 in the STORAGE TANKS. and how concentrated is it. They could use it in greenhouses to help the plants grow

[Osti]

The problem is, that it takes more energy to capture and store carbon then it released when it was burned... if you want to reduce carbon levels, the best plan is still .... leave it in the ground, where it is safely stored instead of using energy to pull it out of the ground then transport it then refine it then transport it again then burn it then suck it out of the air then transport it again and then pump it underground... it`s ridiculous

[Saintash]

What a waste of time & money, Co2 is essential to life on our planet, this is not up for debate.

[marconi]

What an enormous waste of money.
This is what happens in a clown world. 🤡

[CodeMasseur]

Why not plant a bunch of trees? They're nature's CO2 filters.

[qaz]

What a crock of crap. Snake oil was also popular in its day. How stupid!

[TheDigitalGuerrilla]

If we could only push those fans faster using powerful jet engines...

[zwolfe]

Or, perhaps, they can simply rely on the natural CO2 filter, ALL GREEN PLANTS

[couu]

What runs those huge fans? Let me guess....a coal burning plant.

[whocares]

I do the same thing but way more efficently. Grow plants its that f**king easy.

As the climate heads into greater extremes globally, how can we best deal with future climate crises?
The short answer is that we cannot deal with them unless we take care of nature's inner balance.
We live in a tightly-closed and interdependent system in which everything boomerangs back to us. While living in such a system, we need to reconsider what we want and think, and how we treat each other, because our human connections are the primary influence on how nature responds to us.
It is common to think that climate is dependent on factors outside of us—whether it be balances between heat and cold in the environment, or the effects of various kinds of pollution we emit—because we lack a complete picture of how our attitudes to each other bring about the strongest responses from nature toward us.
No creature distorts nature the way that we people do. And it is not simply a matter of switching to renewable energy sources, electric cars and the like; it is a matter of how we relate to each other.
If we truly wish to witness more balance throughout nature and not have to deal with all kinds of cold waves and other natural disasters, then similarly to how we have electricity, water and gas meters in our homes, we should also have meters that count how much evil we emit into the world from our negative attitudes to each other. What I mean is that if we could feel the extent to which we emit negative forces into the world, which negatively ricochet back to us, then we would wish to change this negative driver within us. We would want to switch it to a drive that makes our human connections positive, and which harmonizes us with nature.
In simple terms, when we get up in the morning, we should first and foremost consider what we need to do in order for all people to have it good. Developing such an attitude is not so simple, yet we will need to seriously work on it as we head into the future. A life of increasing blows from nature or a life of peace and harmony depends on the extent to which we impact a shift in our attitudes to each other—from negative to positive.

Storage containers like nuclear power plant waste? Then what? Half life?

[davidreynolds]

Trees do this for nothing and give us oxygen for nothing by doing this who knew

[risenfallacy]

Okay now I am convinced we have no excuse for smoggy cities. Things like this should be on blimps over smoggy cities. And have em scrub the smog out of the air.

[serenitysealed]

Stop this insanity. It is all about greed.

[williamgray]

You mean you could have just planted a tree

[alejandrocabrera]

The simple solution to carbon dioxide are trees 🌳 all the rest is a waste of time for nothing

[DTthewin]

Duh....'there was one.'
-Stripes circa 1980 something. Sheesh.
