The researchers caution that their upcoming 6-to-12-month test could fall short of expectations, and warn against looking for a climate "fix" from CarbFix any year soon.Power companies, oil companies etc. love environmentalists. It's a way of increasing prices without having to produce more product and then blame environmental policies for not doing it..In fact, one of the objectives of the project,
whose main sponsors are Reykjavik's city-owned utility and U.S. and Icelandic universities,is to train young scientists for years of work to come.
Name one other industry that publicly asks you to use/buy less of their product.

Lewis, you have an interesting viewpoint, and I happen to agree with it! I operate a Public Utility. A water company. Our profits are fixed by the Public Utilities Commission as a percentage. Right now it’s about 12%. But, to make things easy, lets say,,, around 10%. So, if it costs us $90 to produce and deliver a certain amount of water, we can charge about $100 for it. $10 profit. If the government and the epa (I hate them!) increase our costs through regulation to the point that that same “certain amount of water” costs us $180 to produce and deliver, well, at 10%, our profits are now about $20! They can even make a percentage cut, and we still make out like bandits!
