Sweet! We should retrofit every coal fired plant in the nation with it and go electric car immediately.

Anyone with any brains knows this is the way to go...together with the drilling in Alaska and other areas.

Didn’t they just reject a new coal plant in Kansas that was shown to reduce a lot more CO2 emissions over standard coal plants?

You’re right, not good enough for the environ-whackos. And they’ll be the first ones blaming Bush for higher electric costs.

Curious...since plants use CO2, perhaps an infrastructure could be built similar to that of natural gas delivery where captured C02 is delivered to farms to improve food yields.

Would pumping C02 into the air in a cornfield, for example, improve growth and also process the C02 into O2?

This assumes that CO2 is “dirty”

It is not.

It is not a pollutant.

There is nothing new about CO2 scrubbers (I designed one in college 25 years ago). It is an expensive piece of equipment, whose cost, if implemented, would be passed down to the consumer. The added cost would provide an insignificant contribution to not solving a non-problem.
