If done instead of reducing current emissions, 100%. That said, there is a real need to invest in carbon capture technology now so that it can be more useful in the future. It's a small part of the overall strategy to improve our climate future, but an important one as we get further along in the century and emissions already are reduced. So, yeah, if people hold up this technology and say "see, let's keep drilling", fuck that. But as long as it's an "and" not an "or", this is a good thing.

Man, I really want to love Millenia. It feels like it has so many great ideas mechanically (from the ages mechanic to how resources work domestically and internationally), it just seems really rough at the moment. The pacing feels off and the flavor comes off just bland (none of the civs seem to have much character).
Looks like he's still fighting the sentence and his friends set up a gofund me to help pay his legal fees. Should anyone be interested in showing him some support outside of the commissary.
I've actually met this guy a few years ago... crazy... he was a pretty nice guy from what I recall - brought homemade cinnamon buns to a party.
Anyways, his friends set up a gofundme to donate for his legal fees, since of course it costs thousands to continue defending himself and his actions...
It's solid -> liquid -> gas, but now replace all lithium (li) with sulfur (s). So spelling wise liquid becomes squid.
A really nice owl
I actually have run into him on the street a couple times - he still wears the question mark suit (even when just like going to the grocery store) and his car is even covered with them. He is committed.
Heard he killed Hitler though
It takes energy to produce them, sure, but it's way less than even just the production needs for coal or natural gas. Not to mention that's a one time carbon cost (per lifespan which is close to 30 years these days) vs ongoing emissions. And additionally, as the energy mix where the panels are produced cleans up, the carbon footprint of the panels go down as well! Is it the perfect solution? No, but there is no silver bullet to get off fossil fuels. Solar is just one part of that transition and it is exciting to see more groups exploring the solar/shade synergy (there's some cool shaded farming solar experiments going on that also make use of the solar panel's shadow for additional benefits!)
Goodbye!
