As per Energy Dome: > But the gas wasn’t captured from factory emissions, nor was it pulled from the air. It came from a gas supplier, and it lives permanently inside the dome’s system to serve an eco-friendly purpose these people are straight-up lying, how can CO2 be "eco-friendly" when all its industrial extraction processes involve fossil fuels as a source? notice how they didn't mention who their gas supplier is? that's because it would out them and their lies. it's impossible to buy gas turbines without ultimately funding the fossil fuel giants. also let's not ignore the environmental catastrophe that would happen if these were deployed en masse and a corruption scandal like the Beirut port explosion happened. it's also not lost on me that this technology is being deployed in poor, economically exploited areas like Sardinia and Xinjiang. there's a reason why they're not building bubbles in the middle of Rome or Beijing, because the people would revolt at this eyesore of a ticking time bomb. nobody would give a fuck if thousands of Uyhurs died in a mass asphyxiation event because people are already ignoring the genocide they're going through. it's concerning whenever Google gets excited about a new energy solution because we all know how they treat the environment around their data centers. if deployed, they'd use the hot breath bubbles to excuse their seemingly infinite energy consumption increase in order to keep the AI bubble from popping. this is carbon credits all over again, they'll use the CO2 to deploy more methane gas turbines because these would "cancel them out". edit: removed inaccurate claim about Energy Dome in Xinjiang, added context
