I gave you facts and number.
The facts are it takes 1.5x powerplants to scrub the carbon from 1x powerplants, using CCS.
So, it’s just better to NOT use dirty electricity, and convert it to a renewable, like solar, wind, or hydro.
Also, my company has as objective to becomes neutral by 2030 and 20% carbon negative by 2050.
So, your company will be paying the full cost of the carbon produced by your company? Doubtful. Nobody pays full environment price at the pumps. Or, their electric bills. Or their nat gas bill.
Fossil fuels are subsidized.

How are CCS carbon positive, when it requires more electricity to sequester, than it would to just not produce the carbon output, to begin with?
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 4 days ago:
Decomp still sequestered carbon.
Sure, burning them releases a portion back, but not most of it…
What do you think comprises ash?
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 4 days ago:
Lol, ok.
You need to read up a bit more… that is not how we got oil…
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 4 days ago:
We already have solar powered carbon sequestration systems, that require almost no maintenance over a period of a couple of hundred of years of operational life…
Trees.

Decomp still sequesters carbon… where do you think all the oil came from, to begin with?
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 4 days ago:
Decomp still sequesters most of the carbon into the soil, which next gen plants uptake some.
Not to mention, a single sq km of algae sequesters tons annually.
And not even mentioning the add on sequesters: New trees bring whole ecosystems, and promote savannah and meadow formation, which also sequesters carbon.

How much carbon gets released building this technomarvel?
How long before it hits carbon neutral, if even carbon negative?
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 4 days ago:
Now imagine if instead of playing technowizard… your company spent that money on planting trees?
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 4 days ago:
I mean, we already have carbon sequestration machines that are even self replicating, and require minimal, if any maitenance…
Trees and algae.

No, they withdrew, one about a decade ago, and then re-applied.
Its not nearly as hard as you are making it out to be.

Where does the legal fiction called a “corporation” derived rights from, and existence?
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 1 month ago:
You just described capitalism, with a fully privatized state. Much like the system in the US…
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 1 month ago:
Yes, you can. I’ve welcomed 3 doctoral program folks back just this past semester.
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 1 month ago:
Our system promotes greed, in fact it operates purely on optimizing for greed.
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 1 month ago:
Corporations only exist because the state exists…
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 1 month ago:
Capitalism cannot exist without a state ensuring the ruling class keeps being able to exploit the working class.
Otherwise, who secures land claims? Or other private property from being taken by the working class?

“I dropped out to make money, and now I have money, and now I want to complete my PhD.”
Easy enough explanation.

Not many people who never served would know, tbh.

Musk literally told everyone he was bringing back all the fash assholes that were banned, and to do everything to amplify their voices.
Did nobody believe him when he literally told everyone it was the plan?

You can fight the elephant trails, or accept them being there. Your choice.
- Comment on Do Not Buy NZXT | Predatory, Evil Rental Computer Scam Investigated - Gamers Nexus 2 months ago:
There are also things called elephant trails.
People commenting to be able to easily come back to the topic are creating an elephant trail, which will exist regardless of the UI designer, if the software allows people to do it.
