In the new study, Kurt Zenz House and colleagues propose building hundreds of special water treatment facilities worldwide that would remove hydrochloric acid from the ocean by electrolysis and neutralize the acid through reactions with silicate minerals or rocks. The reaction increases the alkalinity of the ocean and its ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

I can't understand why one good mechanical engineer cannot produce a wave or tidal device to generate electricity. Water with its mass is exponentially more promising than wind turbines.

Tidal electricity's being worked on extensively in Europe. The key problem is that salt water's highly corrosive to the machinery.

2pac, I am sorry you feel my response is off thread. The thread read can the ocean help us reverse global warming.
Any power generation that gets us off the oil nipple would go along way towards reducing global warming.
In my humble opinion.

The article states that it's possible this process could also help save coral reefs from the lower acidity.
