For those non-arbors, how many trees does $7,500 buy you? How much acreage is consumed by those trees?

I doubt the carbon filter plant and trees have the same lifespan, so, how long does it take the plant to remove 900 tons of carbon? How long until $7,500 worth of newly planted trees consume 900 tons of carbon?

Does that $7,500 include labor?

So how many mature trees will be cut down during the process of clearing the site for the plant? Might that not affect that equation? Leadeye is (always) right; a field full of undisturbed mature trees might be more efficient at removing carbon but they ain't makin' nobody no money.

And the trees don't need to do something with the carbon they capture, they use it for construction. Are the industrial plant's advocates including the costs of deep well injection for sequestration? Trees are fire and forget, no employees required

If yer gonna do the math, include all the variables

ETA: By no means do I assert that my list of variables is comprehensive

LOL... It's from having their mouth planted firmly on the government's teat.

Actually no trees were harmed. From the article on it , "Gebald said his team installed 18 carbon dioxide collectors on the roof of a garbage incineration plant outside Zurich. Powered by wasted heat from the incinerator, the collectors use fans to suck ambient air into filters, which absorb carbon dioxide. The filters are heated and the carbon dioxide is removed and piped into nearby greenhouses, which will use 900 metric tons of captured carbon to grow crops each year."

It’s “follow the money”, for sure, but also follow the virtue. That’s what enables people to enrich the con men of the green industrial complex.

That is actually pretty cool. Turning waste heat and waste CO2 into plant food.

That said, it is still only the left-side of the equation. Plants are not carbon sinks. That CO2 is released when the plants die (or are eaten). Nature always balances the equation.

Waste -> Food -> CO2 is still better than Waste-> CO2.

DNC files lawsuit against Punxsutawney Phil, the Mayor of Gobbler's Knob and of course the Russians for conspiring to delay spring. Star witness to be called will be Stormy Daniels pet beaver.

This is real. It's in Cambridge a mile from her house. Here;s a link to the story (Sorry tried posting the image but INGO won't let me. (the site not any human)

here you go.

 

[Cygnus]

Cool!

I like your version better

 

[JettaKnight]

here you go.

So it's a race between too people who make outrageous claims (Shiva claims to have invented email).

Can we get Dr. Evil's father in the race?

 

[actaeon277]

I think it's funny.



There was a case here in Griffith where a homeowner spray painted on his garage something about "lying thieving politicians".
The town tried to fine him.
They lost the case.

I wish I would have gotten a picture of the garage.

 

[nonobaddog]

I would vote for the "Real Indian". I use email quite a bit.

 

[JettaKnight]

Actually, it's pretty funny, but no one in that race comes out smelling of roses.

Do we ever?

One will win, we all will lose.
