Great - Only 3 Billion Tons To Go

Even in your wildest dreams where they actually prove the theory of capturing the CO2 from those plants, the task is an immense one.

Forget that they have to bury forever (not just partially) more than 3.03 Billion tons of CO2 every year into places that have not been discovered yet, but they need to construct the pipes to get that liquified CO2 to where it is to be buried. Forget that they have to construct the new process and retrofit it to each and every one of the 650 coal fired power plants. Forget that the conservative cost has been calculated at around $1.5 Billion per plant, Forget that the plant to inject the liquified CO2 back into the ground at the place they finally settle upon. Forget that to construct that new process, the plant will need to be closed down during the construction period. Keep in mind one thing only.

To achieve the process, between 25 and 40% of the power produced by the plant will be required to run the process itself. The US at the moment is so delicately balanced between demand increasing at around 2.5% per annum, and on the supply side not constructing power plants of any sort to replace even that increase, then a project like this will be just that.

An expensive project that recovers 300 tons of CO2. Now for the other 3.03 Billion tons.

This is “Green Week,” NBC’s annual effort to show you how to “green your routine.” It sounds innocuous enough, but “Green Week” is actually part of a manipulative business strategy employed by General Electric (GE), the owner of NBC.

GE is a world leader in the production of clean energy goods and services that people don’t want to buy, like compact fluorescent light bulbs. That’s why it spends millions every year to convince the Congress to pass laws like last year’s energy bill, which forces consumers to buy compact fluorescent light bulbs.

Generally speaking, Americans don’t like being told what to do, so GE uses “Green Week” to propagate global warming alarmism and frighten Americans into accepting rules and regulations that force them to buy GE products.
