This technique would require a wave/solar powered buoy feeding a microbubble stream(s) down the anchoring line to the appropriate depth. This type of buoy could also function as a monitoring station reporting multiple sounding via sat. link. There is even much better systems such as Mixox,

There is no doubt about the feasibility of air CO2 capture; Nature does 16 GT worth of net uptake each year. What also seems certain is that concentrating CO2 from air is the last thing you want to do, as fundamental thermodynamics predicts. Where was a discussion about existing and

Hi Albert, I have actually spent some time looking at this type of system for my own lake. I am thinking through the design engineering details and will keep this suggestion in mind. The use of a bubbler line has two advantage that I think will be important. In that, being able to adjust the

Thanks for posting this link. This was a very interesting read. I read your contribution concerning intergenerational equity and have a question on one concept. I quote: Unfortunately, while a commitment to SRM geoengineering approaches in lieu of effective mitigation responses might prove
