Without the oil industry, I myself probably would have been a Texas dirt farmer. I would have been a very hard-pressed farmer, too, because without petrochemicals, most of the world's population would have crashed and starved back in the 1970s. I'm properly grateful for the many blessings of oil. But CO2 mining is not a young industry any more. It's a mature industry.
Time marches on.
Maturity has its consequences. Our civilization is hung up. We have a substance problem with carbon dioxide. Back when we were young and foolish, we could consume coal and oil by the barrel and case. It made us fun at parties.
