I know, the the global warming idiots don’t. About 4 year ago I read where they were going to take CO2 out of the atmosphere. I thought, I hope that they wait until I am dead and gone and take it all out.

Plant a Trillion trees and watch them burn your State to the ground 40 years later. Not only will they release ALL their carbon at once, but also add thousands of your citizens and their homes worth.

"planting a trillion trees. It also features an expansion of a tax break approved by Congress in 2018..."

Far better than tax penalties against all other companies and more regulations against business starts! Take it.

How many of you remember the pollution coming from many of the production companies through the 1970s, before they threw fits and moved production overseas? It wasn’t about carbon or global warming. It was about corrosives in the air, human waste in rivers, etc.

If the really nasty stuff is captured by some companies that must deal with it as a byproduct, we won’t see the deluge of complaints and political moves against U.S. production. Fewer voters would vote against the interests of those companies. Fewer voters would be fooled by foreign complaints against U.S. production.

It’s about avoiding the mistakes made with pollution in China now, and national security would be enhanced by production right here.

“Incentives,” yes. Penalties, no.

We have too many trees. Forests are too dense which increases fire danger and wild fires.
