New Irish CCS facility.
I realise that there's only one place in the universe that really matters, but it looks as if some Ruislippers' knowledge of geography leaves something to be desired ...
As a 'solution', although probably an interesting experiment, it's a non-starter, as with all this 'how can we justify continuing to do exactly what we did before, only now with extra carbon sequestration or electrickery instead of naughty emissions at point of use' bollocks. Angela Merkel just said at the International Automobile Exhibition in Munich that the German car industry isn't only a part of the 'climate problem', but also part of the solution! Yay! Because it converts everything to electricity now! (Never mind that this will lead to even higher energy consumption than before ...) People with their snouts in the trough are absolutely hopeless on this.
The only thing that will help (and it's probably too late) is less, less, less, but that just doesn't fit into the 'modern' world.
New Irish CCS facility.
'Solves' CO2 emissions from 870 cars for $10-15M.
UK 20 million vehicles: 20,000,000/870 = $230,000 - 345,000M.
I'm estimating that is in excess of all the profits ever amassed by fossil fuel producers in the UK.
I'm going to continue to shout at clouds while it remains untaxed.
