Well, you gotta compare the cost-per-kilo of setting up a coffee grounds collection program that gathers X% of the 30+ billion ton/yr of concrete that is used each year.

If the regulations are not properly written, they could be an incentive to start cutting down trees to turn to charcoal as a carbon filler. Companies are sometimes heartless like that.



If tree cutting were also taxed appropriately, that specific example wouldn't be a problem.


Agreed, that's why we need properly written regulations that don't leave ambiguities to be debated after the law is written.

And also, we should probably normalize amendments to laws, instead of canonizing them.


It would still probably be a better carbon capture plan than capturing it for temporary use in the fuel supply as ethanol. But worse of a measure than just burying the trees
