Switzerland's Carbon Capture Plant Is a Giant Waste of Money(DOH!)

On May 31, 2017 the world’s first commercial atmospheric carbon-capture plant opened for business in Hinwil, Switzerland.

The plant, designed and operated by a Swiss company called Climeworks, is different from existing carbon-capture facilities because it filters carbon dioxide out of the ambient atmosphere using proprietary technology, rather than from industrial exhaust, which is quite common.

Climeworks claims their facility will be able to remove 900 tons of carbon from the atmosphere every year. Furthermore, its modular design will allow it to be scaled up as the demand for carbon dioxide increases.

Just when we thought that the Enviroweenies couldn’t top wind and solar farms, they come up with “carbon capture”. When the truth of the environmental movement is finally told, people will be astounded at the amount of time, energy and money that has been pissed away on the fraud called climate change.
I am certain that trillions of dollars have been wasted worldwide when you add in all of the lost economic opportunities.

My idea of a carbon capture plant...

Buy old underground salt mine.

Fill mine with millions of tons of raw wood...

Use government money to sequester the wood.

Later after goreball scam is revealed sell the wood for more profit..

Win win, for me....

Went in one in Switzerland. After a half hour, I wanted out. NOW! LOL! Sorry, no exit doors like Disney. 😳
