It is a brilliant idea...Until all the fishhuggers complain about how it will destroy all sealife as we know it, destroying the food-chain and thus ending life on earth as the ecosystem collapses. There is no renewable solution that will be accepted, ever, because it will always impact animals in some way, or impact the "view" or "lifestyle" of the zero CO2 fags.
They will not allow solar, wind, wave, geothermal, nuclear, bio, etc etc ad nauseum because it will either affect their own comfort, or the flora and fauna of the earth.
So we have to come up with something that will fulfill those needs. And the biggest CO2/environmentalist wackos to oppose these ideas will be the ones who drive to their town halls in their gas-guzzling SUVs to voice their opine about how the world is not doing enough to stave off the CO2 problem.
You know, the same ones who drive 2 miles to their gym in those same SUVs to ride on a stationary bicycle for an hour.
