Talk:Virgin Earth Challenge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I think growing plant for burial may not be a sustainable solution. I am curious whether it is possible for such practice of monoculture to continue indefinitely. And again as suggested, agricultural land is limited on a global basis. I wonder whether some sea-based proposal can be developed.Paladinhk 09:07, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
The latter section of the article has absolutely nothing to do with the challenge, it seems to be just a write-up one particular carbon sequestration technique. It should probably be split to its own article and replaced with a quick summary of top contenders in the challenge. 208.54.14.13 07:33, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

The part on "A Possible Contender: GRT Air Capture Device" sounds rather like advertising, but again the problem is we only have one single example. Is there any way we can pool together more contenders?Paladinhk 01:28, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Can anyone verify whether the article on iron fertilization of ocean should be valid to this article?Paladinhk 15:30, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Solution already exists - in the public domain
There are two existing projects (at least) to extract hydrogen from sea water, one in Iceland by means of geothermal power, the other in Patagonia by means of wind power. Either approach could produce massive amounts of carbon-free fuel that could be shipped (by hydrogen-fueled tankers) world-wide to shore-based electric generating plants. This could be suplemented by developement of a road-based electric power grid to directly power automotive vehicles. All of this is in the public domain. Too Old (talk) 14:46, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
