What’s the cheapest way to re-capture human emissions of carbon dioxide from natural reservoirs?
The news on reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions is not good. A famous study (“wedges”) on approaching the enormous problem released a pessimistic update recently, arguing we need many more of them. There is also so much we do … Continue reading
