CO2 scrubbing silos?

i love that their solution is to literally bury the problem: extract C02 from the atmosphere and pack it in the earth, under the oceans, or wherever.

whatever works, i suppose, but man what a mess.

doing some writing...

hey, so i'm petrified of the kind of reading and writing work that needs to be done over the next few years as a phd student, and panicked over the quality of writing that i'm thinking is necessary. i've begun to blog in earnest, writing about stuff that i think is (personally) interesting in order to motivate myself to write more frequently, in a forum where stakes are a little less high, and where i can play around a little with the focus and themes and style.

here's the feed, so you don't have to put it as your homepage:

would like to know what you think, and would be thrilled if you think it's worth sharing around.
