More like see-rate, amirite?

Good faith actors in the space who consistently note that CDR is not a replacement for mitigation would love for this to *not* be the case. The O&G incentive to back the tech is an albatross around the neck of the CDR industry

I think even (especially?) DAC’s fiercest critics would say that DAC has pretty obvious utility for the oil and gas industry whether or not it “works”

It's absolutely disappointing that the facilities are underperforming, and reasonable folks can argue that DAC is unlikely to succeed, but there is nothing even scam-adjacent here

The fact that their still scaling facilities have not yet covered all of their company-wide emissions is not at all scandalous

i was also disappointed to see the amount of piling on and uncritical sharing of the original story by people who absolutely should have known better. The story just reported the very public numbers that Climeworks shares about its emissions!

The gleefulness over this report makes me wonder what they would have said about solar panels and wind before the technical challenges and the learning-curve economics turned around. I'm not saying carbon capture will save us, but these are still developing technologies.

The analogy I always think of is a can rolling down a ramp. The reactive power is the rotation of the can while the real power is its linear motion. It’s not perfect, but it’s helpful for me!
