No-one really knows yet how well it will work, but it's a serious first. I'm generally not a huge fan of the idea, seeing it as another form of geo-engineering with all the "law of unintended consequences" possibilities that such projects may have. Neither do I like mountaintop removal mining and sponsored an internship this year for one of our Sustech students to go work for a group opposing this obscene method. But I'm also not a great fan of our current dependence on Russian, Sa'udi, and fill-in-the-blank petro-state oil dependency. At the very least, I'm prepared to withhold judgment until data is in.
