Here's a little tidbit...

I am in R&D in the energy industry (oil & gas) and the DOE (Department of Energy) has been giving out grant money to research institutions (private & educational) for developing a means for CO2 sequestering.

Hopefully this is a step toward telling all the Kyoto-Freaks to bugger off on the amount of energy we use because we can tell them that the C02 is being sequestered. This should drive the eco-nuts crazy in that they will have failed to halt the great evil USA.

About 20 years ago a large lake that held great quantities of CO2 at its bottom, through entirely natural processes, warmed a few degrees and one day the gas all bubbled to the surface where it then rose like a shaken sodapop, covering the surrounding shore; it spilled over the edges and spread out across the village like a blanket, smothering all breathing life in its path.

I have a great CO2 sequestering project going too. It is very successful. It sequesters 220 gallons of grass clippings each week. Lots of CO2 sequestered as grass. The local farmers turn lots of CO2 into most of the world supply of potatoes. No matter how much you "sequester" with man made foolishness, the oceans will buffer as they see fit. The 3 million underwater volcanoes are well positioned to heat the water and release lots of CO2. Far more than humans create.

The socialists are anxious to destroy the U.S. economy by putting asinine limits on CO2 emissions. The object is to destroy our country economically. It has NOTHING to do with the environment. The current crop of Presidential candidates are socialists. They will be happy to destroy our economy by adopting these asinine CO2 limits.
