Why Are Carbon Tax Proponents Ignoring This Story

Climate Change: Carbon Capture Method Creates Ethanol

This technology will make CO2 emissions a non issue but the carbon tax lovers are ignoring the story. Could it be that their issue isn't about limiting CO2 emissions and more about wealth transfer. It certainly appears that way.

Wealth transfer from where to where?

I'll leave that for the MF's of the world to discuss. Right now I'm just interested in why the carbon tax proponents are ignoring this wonderful news. I notice your first comment on this thread was about wealth transfer and not this wonderful discovery.

So you tried to make a point and then immediately abandoned it.

You got a keen eye for detail.

No I haven't. My point is that the carbon tax proponents are ignoring the story in the OP. You are reinforcing my point.

First world countries to third world countries. That has always been the goal of the believers.

Did you expect otherwise. To admit this technology works is to admit the whole climate change thing is a scam which most of us already know.

Sounds like an interesting concept, but I'll bet it will take a boat load of cash to bring to fruition. Maybe a good place to put some of our upcoming carbon tax revenue.

Carbon taxes are used to fund mitigation technology just like the one you are suggesting.

This only reinforces the need for carbon pricing because it provides incentives for alternate methods of energy capture.


You need to go back to your home schooling cuz that was way too easy.

No it isn't. But thanks for at least trying to keep up.

If carbon dioxide emissions cause climate change... which most people accept... and if the Flossys of the world believe it is one of the most (if not the most) pressing issues facing mankind, why haven't the Trudeaus, Notleys and Flossys of the world been all over this story? When I read about this I would have expected Notley to announce funding support for this technology.

Looks like someone didn't like getting owned and is desperately trying to ignore my post :lol:

I thought they were neutral?

Carbon will no longer be an issue

 

[mentalfloss]

I thought they were neutral?

Yes, they make the amount of investment equal to the revenue.

Carbon will no longer be an issue

It's so sad but funny to see you continue to dig that hole.

You're just as poor at this as petros.

 

[petros]

Using CO2 as fuel makes it 100% neutral.

Just like trees.

 

[mentalfloss]

Depends how many trees you have.

 

[petros]

Nope. 1 tree or a trillion. They are all neutral.

 

[mentalfloss]

Per a certain level of CO2

 

[petros]

No. There are still neutral. They spend their lives sinking CO2 and their decomposition after death releasing it.

 

[mentalfloss]

If you have one tree and excess CO2 then you have a problem.
