Re:$100M xPrize for Carbon Removal by burgessaccount on Tuesday July 13, 2021 @04:08PM (#27825659)
I’m very excited about them as a possibility (I think there’s another thread about them on HN?) but so much is unproven. We have no idea how much carbon the sand will absorb, or how fast, or how much it might mess with oceans along the way (it could be a positive because it would help fix ocean acidification, but it is a major mineral and ph modification to a complex system). No solution is as good as emissions reductions
