    And does ERW work if the pulverized rock is in a big pile on the sea floor? Or would we have to dig the highly radioactive area up and spread it around the surface?

    Yeah… Doesn’t the carbon sequestering happen from rain absorbing carbon in the atmosphere and then attaching to the rock to mineralize it? Something tells me 6-7 km of ocean might impede that process.

    And does the radioactive water truly stay at the site of the explosion? Or will it be spread through the entire ocean via currents?

    Dilution is the solution…ocean big?

      Dilution was supposed to be the solution to the whole greenhouse gasses emissions, turns out atmosphere not … that big.
