“Generally, what happens to these wastes today is they go to a landfill, get dumped in a waterway, or they’re just spread on land,” said Vaulted Deep CEO Julia Reichelstein. “In all of those cases, they’re decomposing into CO2 and methane. That’s contributing to climate change.”

Waste decomposition is part of the natural carbon cycle. Burning fossil fuels isn't. We should not be suppressing part of the natural cycle so we can supplant it with our own processes. This is Hollywood accounting applied to carbon emissions, and it's not going to solve anything.

Literal Greenwashing.

Could easily do better.

Step 1: plant forests Step 2: lobby for the protection of existing forests including the one just created.

Vaulted mixes the waste, including everything from biosolids and manure to food scraps, into a sludgy cocktail, then injects it into deep geological formations sealed off from the surface.

we're literally turning our world into a shit sandwich.

Headline is lying. This does not do that. Carbon offsets don't work.

Can I donate a turd to their door?

Coming soon to Office 365

this is the episode of The Simpsons where homer becomes the waste management president and sells Springfield's underground to other cities for landfill use

You're all being negative and funny about it, but have you considered you may not know better than hundreds of actual scientists?

I'm just saying, this shit is indeed hilarious, but I'm thinking they're on to something.
