[...] Today, I came back from a village visit in my hometown, having acquired more knowledge than many books and many lectures taught me in my university years.

in the scrap company with worth zero, shall they

Planktos’ predecessor had clearly done the economic modelling in order to sell ‘carbon credits’ but nowhere is there any credible ‘chemistry modelling’ to create credible carbon sequestration predictions.

Planktos adding the -Science to its name is rather more honest than calling oneself Earth2Tech with the suggestion that 2tech represents credibility. Then of course there is the clear slamming nature of the writing. Get a life creeps

Anybody who would even consider raising funds from Elon Musk after the cluster f**k this guy has done to the founders of Tesla must be incredibly desperate. Musk will come in, micro-manage, screw up your plan, and then when you succeed in spite of him kick you out and take credit for all of your work and declare himself the founder of the company.

If I’m clear about the fact that they are competitors and it’s not the main point of the article, then no, I dont think so.

Don’t know much about Planktos, but when you resort to quoting a direct competitor to slam them, it’s kind of lame, doncha think?
