That’s really cool

I’d imagine if the tech gets there it will be so heavily subsidized (at least in the US) that cost won’t be a huge concern. Plus if its producing a useful biproduct that might be a decent revenue booster.

I sure hope so. I work in electricity generation (not coal) and I see this being potentially massive for all fuel types. Depending on if/how it can be scaled. Combined cycle was huge for emissions reduction. But this could be a completely new level if we can reduce to zero/near zero and have a useful byproduct.

That would be an incredible innovation. You don’t have to stop at coal either, it’s just the dirtiest. Nat gas, trash, oil, wood and anything else burned on a huge scale could be curbed.

Empty the landfills, burn the waste, generate electricity and eat all the carbon emissions. No idea if it’s feasible in the future but it sure would be and incredible advancement.

Being able to teraform is huge on earth and abroad. Cool stuff either way.

Weeks instead of years. Could be big for assisting in the fight against climate change.
