Plans for Iceland to switch 100% to non-carbon and carbon-neutral energy sources are utterly realistic, especially with improvements in electric transportation systems and synthetic fuels.

Rock that's useful for carbon sequestration might be even more useful in the manufacture of carbon neutral concretes, maybe even concretes that absorb more atmospheric carbon dioxide as they cure than was emitted producing them.

Quitting fossils fuels is like quitting cigarettes. You have to quit buying cigarettes.
