LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) -- A New Mexico State University assistant professor and student researchers are trying to better understand the patterns of carbon dioxide storage in desert soils and plants.
Assistant professor Heather Throop says the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere each year by soils is 10 times greater than the input from fossil fuels. (more follows)

The fall of the U.S. and the rise of China. Like it or not, China is becoming the world’s superpower. The truth is that China has has overtaken the United States in several key areas over the last few years. China has surpassed the U.S as the world’s top car market. They have also overtaken the U.S. as the world’s largest energy consumer. We have lost 2.4 million jobs to China in the last seven years. China now has the world’s fastest supercomputer- and their military is growing by leaps and bounds. The list goes on. Is there anything we can do?

Bailing out the banks is going to increase the debt spiral and finally cause the destruction of the world’s biggest economy, Rogers said.
“I think it’s astonishing, they’re ruining the US economy, they’re ruining the US government, they’re ruining the US central bank and they’re ruining the US dollar,” he said.
“You are watching something in front of our eyes, very historically, which is basically the destruction of New York as a financial center and the destruction of America as the world’s most powerful country.”

If you read the speeches made by Ben Bernanke a few years ago, you will find that he pledged to eliminate a lack of aggregate demand in the economy by dumping tons of freshly printed dollar bills on the economy. Well, folks, he is now doing just that and he will keep it up until it looks like people are spending again. The markets have caught on to this. Stocks have been rallying on bad news. Today commodities rallied on terrible news in oil inventories and China exports. What this means is that the markets are anticipating all that money falling from the sky and finding it’s way into the economy.
Unfortunately for Mr. Bernanke, he can bombard us with dollars but he can’t ultimately determine where those dollars will end up going. He wants them to go into house prices, car buying, and job creating investments, and some of the money will no doubt go into these areas. He doesn’t want the money to work it’s way into metals prices, gas and energy prices, or food prices, but these areas are likely to be the prime beneficiaries of his money deluge. Another prime winner in the money game will be Asia as all those consumers rush to Wal-Mart to spend their loot. I would just guess off the top of my head that about $5 will go into “undesirable to Ben” places for every dollar that goes into “Ben’s favorites”. Ultimately, this means that the stuff people really need is going to skyrocket in price, while the economy remains in “circle the drain” shape. This won’t happen overnight, but it is inevitable that it will happen sooner or later. Remember that printing money doesn’t create prosperity or jobs that last. It just wipes out the middle class and the retirees who are invested in fixed income and who can’t figure out what is going on until its too late. I like silver, gold, farmland, agricultural commodities, gasoline, and Asian stocks.
These Grant gigs are a joke...One dude takes one side and another takes the other side. That makes it never ending...
And along with the CO2 you sequester, you sequester all sorts of other valuable stuff. What will replace the sequestered potassium, for example?
