Carbon Capture (CCS) - Jones
Exact Plan Text: The United States Federal Government should substantially increase its diplomatic and economic engagement with the People’s Republic of China by offering to expand bilateral investment in Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) including measures information/data exchange for CCUS activities.
Advantages/Harms (with explanation):
Fuel – captured carbon solves industrial CO2 shortage leads to production of ethanol, which solves for food security.
Warming – Warming is locked in absent negative emissions technology. Impact – warming, structural violence.
Lithium – Major shortage of lithium happening now makes alternative energy impossible. Impact warming.
Coal – coal is locked in and fossil fuels are really terrible absent the plan. Impact – warming.
Solvency Mechanisms:
Investment leads to the development of CCUS that’s key to negative emissions tech and solves warming.
