However, it's the direct air capture stuff that has me puzzled and wondering if we aren't trading one perceived problem for another. Those dac facilities take a shite-ton of electricity and water to run, from what I understand.


You are correct. The electricity has to be almost free to make DAC work.

CO2 sequestration works from the exhaust of emitters because the concentration for CO2 is 58% to start with. DAC starts with 0.04% CO2 concentration.

Yes…let’s take massive amounts of CO2, concentrate it and store it underground under pressure. What could possibly go wrong?

If I’m not mistaken, CO2 is heavier than air right? What happens if there’s a rupture/leak and a huge quantity is released in a confined area?

Think of all the poor shareholders that held this dog of a stock prior to bankruptcy.

There are many families in MS and LA that invested in the company only to have that investment wiped out true to bankruptcy.

I bet they donated to a bunch of RINOs. The GOPe is just as bad if not worse. They just hide who they really are.

billons were spent on satellite detection to find methane leaking from wellheads only to discover the majority (by volume) was natural seeps and releases; now they plan pumping it back in using taxpayer subsidized companies.

The Climeworks DAC facility in Iceland (which I believe is still the largest DAC facility in operation) is run entirely on geothermal energy. Pretty cool.

Denbury CEO, Chris Kendall, is an old friend of mine. I worked as a consultant for him when he was at Samedan as a Facility Engineer. I even tried to hire him once, but just the month before he got the position of CEO Noble Energy Ecuador. He is a good guy.

I don't think that's true. For new projects, sure, but not for the ones already approved.

Not much could go wrong. CO2 is injected at high enough pressure to get into the reservoir. It then starts to disperse. Monitoring wells will detect if the CO2 is getting near an area from which it can spill out of the reservoir. Eventually the CO2 goes into solution with the saline, in a fashion similar to a cola going flat.

We have been moving CO2 in pipelines and injecting it into reservoirs for a very long time and with a very good safety record.
