I love how you use this as a way of bounding pessimism without anchoring too much on the specifics — it’s hard to get people thinking along those lines! FWIW, (thermodynamic entropy of mixing bound) x (reasonable price of energy) does seem to be below $10/tonne for DAC itself: pic.twitter.com/AcWermV81H

Excellent. More such ideas, please. It would be dangerous to rely on just one, even an excellent one, let alone the bad one that's current policy.

I really like Adam's notes, and need to read them properly. Every time I start I end up with 20 open tabs & never make it past a few paragraphs.

"I can't read your writing. It's too interesting!" is perhaps an unusual compliment. But true here.

Thanks! Faced similar tab proliferation issue trying to write it... @DavidDeutschOxf, yes, I tried to cover ~all known ideas (and you wouldn’t believe what video is linked at the end of the 3rd post). But none as lucidly & coherently encapsulated as @michael_nielsen on DAC here!

Yeah, people mix up "Is it _possible_ to solve?" with "And what's the best possible / most realistic approach?" They can't answer (b), which is a much more complex question, so get pessimistic about (a). Hard to get ppl out of this mindset.

Have you looked in much depth into Herzog's analysis? It's much more pessimistic on the thermodynamics than Lackner. I must admit, I think it's probably just wrong (trees seem to be a cheap way of doing DAC, thermodynamically), but there's a lot of details.
