Gasoline should be at least $25/gallon by now. So putting that aside, large-scale investment in nuclear seems to be the best option.



With a $5/gallon tax, you could pay $600/ton for direct air capture of carbon. This is the current price for small test installations. There are claims that this could decrease to as little as $40/ton with scale.


Any literature on this? I've not really followed the idea of carbon capture (other than planting forests and stuff).
