>>Adapt this to auto tailpipes (if the catalytic converter doesn’t take out the CO2 already)

It doesn’t.

Do you think I necessarily think Greenpeace is right on this?

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.

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....

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?

Around here, the short, stubby ones are the cooling towers, and the very, very tall skinny ones are the smokestacks. This one looks like it's being re-covered, because there is a derrick perched on top to the right of the pic.

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....
