    The other equivalent of this is a carbon capture technology that actually works. It’s also far-fetched from what we know yet.

    But the day it exists, capital will pour into it since it’s a way to get paid by subsidies for the rest of your life. And all you need to do to also to grow that sector is burn more fossil fuel and it works so long as government can tax people more. It’s kind of like having both the poison for the whole world, and the cure, and demanding ransom (while being paid for the poison).
