The looming copper crisis. This will have a huge impact (oilprice.com)
 

TL;DR the world is running out of easily extracted copper at an alarming rate

Will engineered carbon removal solve the climate crisis? in c/cdr@slrpnk.net
[–] RobCornelius@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

Carbon Capture is a scam.

Bright Young Things™ come up with an idea for CC. Venture Capitalists give them around 10 million dollars. They fuck around for a bit then say "Oh it doesn't work at scale" and bugger off with the money.

The venture capitalists don't care, often they are funded by energy companies too. Its greenwashing for them. Governments don't care either as they can say "In the future this magic technology will mean we can lock all that CO2 away for ever".

Rinse and repeat... always repeat.

I have heard of other bowyers using blackthorn. I would be really interested to see how it all turns out.
