Nice picture, only it's of the water cooling towers at a power plant, and not the "smoke stacks", as they claim.
These "smoke stacks" ARE, however, emitting a "greenhouse gas"...water vapor....

Researchers in Wyoming report development of a low-cost carbon filter that can remove 90 percent of carbon dioxide gas from the smokestacks of electric power plants that burn coal and other fossil fuels.
Maciej Radosz and colleagues at Wyoming's Soft Materials Laboratory cite the pressing need for simple, inexpensive new technologies to remove carbon dioxide from smokestack gases. Coal-burning electric power plants are major sources of the greenhouse gas, and control measures may be required in the future.
The study describes a new carbon dioxide-capture process, called a Carbon Filter Process, designed to meet the need. It uses a simple, low-cost filter filled with porous carbonaceous sorbent that works at low pressures. Modeling data and laboratory tests suggest that the device works better than existing technologies at a fraction of their cost.
>>Adapt this to auto tailpipes (if the catalytic converter doesn’t take out the CO2 already)
It doesn’t.
I don't. I think all technologies need to be investigated. I think Greenpeace is dedicated to a particular viewpoint and they won't consider how new and advanced technologies could address climate change.
exactly. carbon dioxide is plant food, not pollution.
we need scrubbers for other emissions, but CO2 isn’t one of them.

If greenpeace said up, I’d think down but I wanted to show that even the green mafia was against this plan.
Actually...I think it’s 3 smoke stacks. It looks like a coal-fired unit with flue gas going through a wet scrubbed system. That is why you see the high moisture content.
Didn’t AlBore invent the catalytic converter at about the same time that he invented the internet?
I've also noticed that a lot of Greenpeace's and other evo-wacko videos showing TONS of pollution are shot on extremely cold days, when anything warm will look like it's smoking....
