Beam me to Planet Gore !
I can finally breath again knowing this...
So congress is now going to pay someone to store their hot air !!
When will we see a project that tilts at windmills? Oh yeah, we just did.
have these loons lost their cotton-picking minds ???????
Seriously, couldn’t a giant Earth burp be deadly? I’m thinking of those lakes in Africa that suddenly released gases and killed lots of people.
No. A step closer to reality would be listen to the growing number of scientists who are openly skeptical of the global warming hypothesis, and to stop the rush to implement all sorts of half-baked and misguided policy decisions based on nothing at all except a deeply flawed conviction that anything which increases government control over human activity has to be good for humanity even if it makes us poorer and starves people.
I wonder how much my electric bill will go up after THIS one becomes environmental law.
“Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) and burying it away underground, which has on paper been described as one of the most effective in cutting down on greenhouse gases, is moving closer to reality.”
Jeez, this has been done for years in the oil industry for secondary recovery.
By the way, how will they gather all the CO2 and at what pressure will they inject the gas? Compression is energy driven which leaves a “carbon footprint”. (A little Algore lingo here)
I personally think that I would pipe it to an aquifer and make club soda.
Congress has wasted 379.7 million dollars of taxpayers hard-earned money on this foolishness? May God have mercy on us all.
The problem is the loss in power plant efficiency to capture and liquefy the CO2.
We also lose efficiency by scrubbing fossil fuel exhaust, but it's necessary so our skies don't look and breathe like China.
Scot Ott at Scrappleface is jumping the shark: No one would ever believe that...uh, wait, this is REAL?! WTF?!
Beware of erf pharts is all I gotta say.
My limited math skills arrive at $380 million for storing a minimum of 6 million tons of C02. Seems a bit pricey.
What happens to C02 underground?
Will they CO2 fire extinguishers? What idiots. That earthquake and the h-cane in myramar wiped out a lot of CO2 emissions.
How much Carbon should be stored? What is the ideal amount of Carbon in the atmosphere? How do you know?
These are the questions that of course no one will answer.
Plants will be dying....Mark my words. They need the stuff..
Tax dollars already in play? That’s it, Game Over.
Riiiight. Heck use this, it'll work just as good ya know...
