Net Zero burial of carbon dioxide?

At the same time as they force-feed this chaotic rush into intermittent energy, our politicians are also rushing to electrify everything – cars, trucks, trains and home heating/cooking. When coal, diesel and gas power are banned, and we are still arguing about nuclear power, all these electric cars, trucks and trains will stop at sundown with flat batteries. How do we recharge all those batteries while we cook dinner and watch TV on a windless night?

They have another destructive green answer to energy storage: "Install pumped hydro plants on every coastal river."

These pumped-hydro dreams require electricity to pump water to the upper reservoir when green energy is available during sunny/windy days and then use that stored energy to recharge all those batteries by releasing stored water at night.

But not all the energy can be recovered – some is always lost. And what if we have three or more cloudy windless days? That's when the sensible oldies crank up the diesel generator in the shed, get into the old Holden to go shopping (with cash in hand), and drag out the gas-fired barby.
