Difficulty of extraction? Most of it can be strip mined (in the US)which means low BTU input per weight. And most mines are set up near rail spurs for easy/cheap shipment.Critonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102429195693595750.post-15491435716990897732010-08-09T17:33:05.150+03:002010-08-09T17:33:05.150+03:00nice comment....

Are. All. Going. To. Be. Burnt. For. Energy.<br /><br />And we are going to run out of really cheap energy (oil, natural gas, coal, uranium).<br /><br />My question is:<br /><br />"How do we best colonize Antarctica without cheap energy?"<br /><br />Fossil fuels (and uranium) are just condensed sunlight and/or products of stellar explosions. If you really want to get the carbon dioxide out of the air, grow trees and then bury the trees deep underground.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11126071014909954387noreply@blogger.com
