>>13807968You're both right and wrong. We should focus as much as possible on decarbonizing our grid. Our second focus should be electrifying transport and home heating.
But there are many industries that cannot be decarbonized as easily. that's why we need carbon capture.
>>13808066>Saturated Lmao you dumb fuck. There are billions of uses for wood. If there is more supply just make more demand for it.
Fuck we should make our houses out of it, and I'm not talking about flimsy wood skeleton houses but solid made from CLT. They would be the best carbon sink.
>ten times as expensiveThat's not how timber works.
They rent unused land for 20 years, plant trees. fuck off for 20 years, come back and cut it. The USA has tremendous amounts of unused land that could be used for this.
In fact we should stop subsidizing corn, more than half the corn grown in the USA is used to make ethanol and added to gasoline, which is so dumb the english language doesn't have a word to accurately describe just how dumb it is.
That land could be used for growing timber.
