Hm. I perfectly understand cynicism, because I'm very good at it myself. (At least I think so.)

However, in this case I'm of a different opinion. Let's put aside the sluggishness of going totally green/eco/sustainable/whatever for a moment and think about what would happen if we managed to do it in an instant, like now.

Then this would still be a usable and sensible thing to do, because right now it looks like we are very, very late to the game, and every little thing counts.

In my opinion this would even make sense if produced as sort of artificial zeolites produced by atmospheric carbon capture by whichever industrial process, even nuclear powered.

edit: thinking about it, though slightly off-topic in this context is another path to carbon sequestration I remember:
