Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm touted funding in the bipartisan infrastructure bill for direct-air capture demonstration projects, calling the provision “really exciting” during an address at the COP26 international climate summit in Glasgow Friday,

While Granholm touted the Energy Department’s current work on carbon reduction, she said that “what’s really exciting is what’s being voted on today, I hope, in Congress, cross our fingers.”

Democratic leaders are hoping to hold House votes Friday on the bipartisan infrastructure bill and a separate social spending and climate measure. The former would go straight to the White House for President Biden's signature if it is approved, while the other bill must still get through the Senate.

Man is she demented.

This kind of crap is reminding me of Ma Chalmers soybean project.

Jennie needs to stop spewing CO₂.

[eyeamok]

Now can we talk about Repealing 19??

[just me]

She needs to go back to Canada.

direct-air capture demonstration

AKA a tree.

[Lazamataz]

Tell ya the truth, I’m not too upset over what she’s excited about. It’s a bunch of demo projects. Those are fine; they can be used to show how pointless the main programs would be.

Celebrating polluting the water tables. Brilliant.

Direct air capture (DAC) is a process of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the ambient air

Ya mean like plants do?

When I want to understand technology and science, the first place I look is politicians with law degrees.
Perhaps they think the law of Thermodynamics is actually in Law Books.

I just finished re-reading Atlas Shrugged.

You are absolutely right. This is a question of
people who don’t have a clue what their doing or
what the consequences of their actions are determining
public policy. What a maroon.

Thanks for the great reference.

[Fireone]

An unmitigated disaster, both financially, and constitutionally. No right thinking Congressman or Senator should have their name anywhere near this garbage!

[RckyRaCoCo]

Dolt.

[Paladin2]

Great Graphic.

Turns out both are witless.

[Brian Griffin]

Trees suck up CO2 and keep the ground under them cooler.

[RatRipper]

Reminds me of the movie Spaceballs. Are they going to suck all the oxygen out of the atmosphere and kill everybody that is not in on the plan???

While I say that in something of a jest, NOTHING would surprise me regarding the evil, depraved elites and leftists. . . .

[Brian Griffin]

In my youth city streets had canopies of elm trees.

i guess taxbreaks for exhaust abatement like they give to all the BSolar systems and cars is out of the question...
