A drop in the ocean. More precisely, an H2O molecule in the ocean. Useless. Liberals are insane.

790 cars in a year?
Iceland has 300,000 cars.

I bet they’ll recycle the CO2 into fizzy drinks.

“That’s the equivalent of the annual emissions from about 790 cars ... Both technologies are powered by renewable energy sourced from a nearby geothermal power plant.”

Two thoughts:

A. looks to me like that plant has got more steel in it than 790 cars ... took A LOT of energy to make that steel ... A LOT of carbon was released in the atmosphere from that steel-making ...

B. Could more than 790 electric cars be powered by electricity generated from the geothermal energy used by that plant?

Equivalent to 790 Cars? That’s all? That truly is a waste of money. I wonder how much Al Gore is making off this boondogle.

Talk about crazy.

It’d be cheaper and decrease the carbon footprint of a measly 760 cars if they’d just ban driving one day a year.

But these morons kill all fetuses who may have Downs.

I wasn’t sure if there were trees or not, but they do have greenery, for now, until they starve it all by wiping out co2

It’s very beautiful there in the Summer.

Crystal clear pale blue glacier water, green hills/mountains, hot women, hot springs, etc.

Very expensive, and their food sucks, and immigrating there is very difficult, which is good in my opinion.

That was Greenland.

Ironically Greenland isn’t green but icy, and Iceland is green...

The shark is “Hakarl” it is foul.
Their gin is Brennivin and is foul.

I ate the shark and chased it with the booze, while playing trivia with lesbians in The Big Lebowski Bar...

I definitely enjoyed the demographics of Iceland.

If I have to live in a Socialist country, it won’t be here.
But, we aren’t certainly doomed yet. Though it doesn’t look good...

Ironic in a country where volcanos spew tons of numerous gases, including CO2, into the atmosphere every day.

As for the CO2 turning into rock, would that be coal?
