How do you cut CO2 emmisions without cutting combustion? I’m an engineer but can’t figure it out. CO2 is a result of complete combustion (whereas other pollutants like NOx or SOx are a result of other factors).

Combustion in its simplest format is:

CH4 + 2 O2 = Energy + 2H2O + CO2

The only way to cut CO2 is to turn off the factories and power plants. The only primary power generation facility that doesn’t use CO2 is nuclear. Do the Dems want more nuclear?

The Dems know Bush will veto, so it is something they are doing in order to grandstand.
