On Friday, the Biden regime announced it will spend $1.2 billion in taxpayer money to vacuum the sky of carbon dioxide.
Energy Secretary Granholm boasted about the project to reporters on Friday.
“These two projects are going to build these regional direct air capture hubs,” US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm told reporters, according to CNN. “That means they’re going to link everything from capture to processing to deep underground storage, all in one seamless process.”

Just a “follow the science” reminder to all CO2 is plant food. Without it we DIE. That is, in reality, their (elite snobs and autocrats) objective.

I wonder how much CO2 will be produced by building this sucking machine?

Now that they've found a way to solve their imaginary problem does that mean we all don't have to drive electric vehicles and can still use gas stoves?

The Congress critters need to loudly remind JFB of who controls the US treasury. (JFB can use his own money.)
Vegetation needs CO2. Kill all natural food sources and the peons will be forced to eat Frankenstein foods (artificial and altered).
Are there any scientists who can publicly proclaim the value of CO2?

There must be many people in the government that own stock in carbon dioxide vacuum cleaner companies. I read that Sec. Granholm made $1,600,000 off her electric bus company stock she sold.

Has anyone told these idiots that our plant life needs CO2 to exist? These people can't get voted out of office soon enough. This Emperor has no clothes and he also has no brain. It is time to put a stop to this climate scam. Haven't they sucked enough money out of the American taxpayer's pockets? Maybe someone can put them into a planet simulation where there is no CO2 and see how long they last. Little Greta can explain to all her nitwit friends why all the plant life is dead.
Will someone please require a basic biology course for these morons.

This is a farce.
I have yet to see anyone say what is the optimum amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere.
This year's record heat is the result of a 10% increase in water vapor in upper atmosphere from last year's eruption of the Hunga Tonda submarine (under water) volcano. Nothing to due with Carbon Dioxide.

We certainly haven't had record heat in my neck of the woods. While we have had days with high temperatures, we have also had more unusually cool days for late July and early August. Of course, that's just more proof of "Climate Change."

Today there are 180 ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere and dropping. 150 is the threshold for plant survival. A 140 million years ago the number was 2800 ppm. Plants were surviving. Dinosaurs were thriving. Temperature were perfectly livable. Have any of these Einsteins bothered to think about that?

Thomas Sowell had the anointed (commierats) pegged thirty years ago. From "The Vision of the Anointed":
“When the anointed say that there is a crisis this means that something must be done–and it must be done simply because the anointed want it done. This word becomes one of many substitutes for evidence or logic.” — P. 182
“But, to those with the vision of the anointed, to say that a particular plan or policy is contrary to human nature as we know it is only to say that human nature must be changed. Thus the vocabulary of the anointed is replete with such terms as ‘sensitizing,’ ‘enlightening,’ or ‘reeducating’ other people.” — P. 190
“The charge is often made against the intelligentsia and other members of the anointed that their theories and the policies based on them lack common sense. But the very commonness of common sense makes it unlikely to have any appeal to the anointed. How can they be wiser and nobler than everyone else while agreeing with everyone else?” — P. 248
“In the anointed we find a whole class of supposedly ‘thinking people’ who do remarkably little thinking about substance and a great deal of verbal expression. In order that this relatively small group of people can believe themselves wiser and nobler than the common herd, we have adopted policies which impose heavy costs on millions of other human beings, not only in taxes, but also in lost jobs, social disintegration, and a loss of personal safety. Seldom have so few cost so much to so many.” — P. 260

Of course China, India, and all the African nations will also build their own CO2 vacuums because without their participation all this will accomplish nothing but our own bankruptcy.

Remove a BENEFICIAL gas from the air, which will cause a shortage of a critical requirement for all green plant growth and therefore kill and harm all green plants?

This, coupled with spraying the atmosphere with reflecting microscopic dots to reduce sunlight, should kill vegetation and make the Earth inhabitable for the next million years or so.
Apparently the plan!

Are these people crazy? Why is it no one bothers to mention that we need co2 for plant life. How many humans do we need to get rid of since we also exhale co2. You watch there will be start up companies for these vacuums and we will have new IPOs. Stupid idiots will invest in the companies and someone like Gore will get rich and the rest of the investors will lose everything.

We should blow up the sun. That will fix that bad ole' climate change thing once and for all.
This isn't about 'saving the planet'. It never was. It's about lining one's pockets.
Just remember. Federal debt is over 30 trillion, and total US debt is over 100 trillion. We don't have the money for this which means more inflation and one step closer to economic implosion.

Can Biden Inc. figure out a way to stop the tides too? I recall from history a king who once thought he could do that, but then gave up after getting cold and wet, and looking foolish.
By the way, Biden Inc. will have 'Xylem on their hands' regarding all the trees and plants they murder with this cockamamie idea. The Leftist abortion idiots weren't satisfied with mass killing of fetuses, so now they've moved on to aborting flora and fauna, as well. Eventually they'll anoint themselves as, "Carbon Masters," in the manner of DC Comics', 'Magneto' character.

I will add that "linking everything from ............... in one seamless process" is one of the swamp's ways to ensure that nothing gets done for decades and everyone involved will make it to retirement w/o concerns or the nuisance of being competently reviewed.
Congress can't effectively investigate such programs, records disappear, liars are not punished. And succeeding Administrations swear they will get it right this time. Real soon!

Meantime, China produced and burned FOUR BILLION, FOUR HUNDRED MILLION TONS of coal in 2022, 'and are planning a substantial increase in 2023'. China has been was putting a New, Large, Coal-Fired Power Plant into operation EVERY WEEK for the past several years, but in the last couple of years, they increased that to TWO New Large Coal-Fired Power Plants Every Week.
Whatever amount of CO-2 (after figuring the CO-2 PRODUCED by building the plants and Running the plants) is removed, is equivalent to Passing Gas in a Hurricane.
This scheme by The HairSniffer is designed to WASTE MORE TAXPAYER'S MONEY, and of course, a nice slice of that goes into their friend's pockets.
Don't believe me?

Lessee... Limestone (L) = Calcium Carbonate. L plus 835 degrees heat -> CaO= "lime". Lime + water -> heat + Ca2OH = Calcium Hydroxide (H). H+CO2 -> Calcium Carbonate which can be stored. So, where oh where can we get the heat to decompose the limestone? Solar furnaces? Electricity from slave labor solar panels? The possibilities are endless!

So, between getting rid of CO2 and his insanity about blocking the sun, Biden is going to destroy plant life that sustains life and is God's method of cleaning the air and destroy the solar energy generating we need for power? Yet nobody calls him out on this stuff.
