I suggested a similar idea before with biomass gasifiers years ago Mr Musk. But not quite as elaborate and accurate as I speak right now I believe. Can't quite remember but you might.

So from an sales point. For expedition purposes. Or survival. This could have a point.

Note that, while this does increase carbon emissions.

It does not mean it will be in regular usage.

Only specialized instances which would be a minority.

Secondly, it will help people to navigate and expand their territories,

prospecting and building remote communities.

 

Meaning, geographically, the further people venture out,

higher chances of survival in an apocalyptic scenario.

 

Why the whole point of Mars, right?

 

So one cannot simply think about pollution itself.
