Absolutely.  And use the energy to liquefy the CO2 thus produced!

 If you want a power plant that never exports power, that's a great
idea. Most people want to keep their lights on.

You can't actually liquefy CO2, unless you compress it a lot.
But that doesn't use up all that much energy compared with what you can get from burning propane to make the CO2.

Do you stand on street corners wearing a MAGA hat and with a sandwich
board proclaiming 'The End of the World is Not Nigh'?  You do seem to
take every opportunity to announce your irrational belief that
anthropogenic climate change is a lie.

 Increased CO2 and a warmer climate, whatever the causes, are wonderful
for life on Earth, including human life.

If you believe the climate change denial propaganda churned out by the fossil carbon extraction industry. You've got to be a gullible idiot to fall for it, but somebody who believes that Donald Trump has "common sense" will believe pretty much anything.

How strange you are. Do you ever successfully design electronics?

He wouldn't be working at CERN if he didn't. It's an elite group.
You wouldn't get a look in.
