🧵 Is plastic carbon positive?

Theoretically, can we turn all the excess carbon in the air into plastics and store them somewhere or feed them to bacterias (plastics are just long chains of carbonhydrates). Wouldn't this make lots of sense if it's scalable?
Instead of the garbo fake green energy vs fossil fuel discussion we can maxx dinosaur juice and mass carbon capture this way.

And after feeding the plastics to 'unspecified bacteria' the carbon is where ? Is it a mythical property of the unspecified bacteria that unfortunately you still need to come up with ?
Why can't brainrotted rodents not simply accept the easiest way of avoiding rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere is not emitting it ?

It costs too much energy.

I'm sure someone on youtube already has taken the time to make nice videos regarding your questions.
Not related to plastics, but I like this solution myself:

Do you not understand the or logical phrase you cattle brained? And of course, if it's fed to bacteria it need to stay in the ecosystem you dumbfuck. Maybe the next time you use that cattle brain of your to some use instead of nitlicking other people trying to sound like you're smart retard.

Thanks will check out

Simply burning your waste carbon so that it can be recycled as CO2 accomplishes the same end goal as bacteria digesting it. All life dies and is part of the carbon cycle, so skip a few steps and generate some electricity from your waste at the same time.

So what is the whole point of investing ressources into the capturing of athmospheric carbon, turning it into a plastic and feeding it to bacteria ? OPs title very much implies this would somehow lead to carbon being fixed.
Also enjoy your microplastic bacteria brain plastics fag.

Do nothing, just co-exist with the carbon in the air
