I note what you say about getting magma energy from volcanos. Can't it also be got from sinking pipes through the rock layer anywhere the rock is thin enough?Vitruvius wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:16 pmVitruvius wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 2:48 pm XR are vitriolic because they see addressing climate change in terms of sacrifice; have less, pay more, tax this and stop that; and China's economic development started late. Asking China to curb its economic growth when individually, Chinese people use around 10% of the energy of the average American - does seem unreasonable. That said, China has a population of 1400 million people - so, as a country they are the biggest producer of greenhouse gas emissions. Their economic success since the 1990's has been nothing short of meteoric, but without magma energy, it's not sustainable for such a large population. China is increasingly hungry for energy. It might therefore be reasoned, and hoped that were magma energy on the table at COP26, China would agree - and bring Russia with them, despite Russia's relatively low population and dependence on fossil fuel revenues. Magma energy has the advantage of giving oil revenue economies time to diversify; because it would take time to set up, but provide the energy to capture carbon for centuries hence. So we'd continue using fossil fuels for some time, and repair the damage after - when we have abundant clean energy to spend, and not have to cripple ourselves in the meantime to secure a sustainable future.I suggest developing magma energy as a global good initially, with the energy used specifically for carbon capture, desalination, irrigation and recycling - while building capacity to transition from fossil fuels. This is an image of all the volcanoes in the Pacific Ring of Fire - and as you can see, geographically, they're everywhere.
Are there any high level talks going on that include the Chinese and the Russians?
It seems to me this is a salient advantage:
