All they have to do is agree to pay for the privilege, including higher fuel costs, pollution tax, insurance, etc. That should also cut out a lot of the morons leaving rubber at one stop light after another, so they can be the first to the next stop light. Surely higher fuel costs come automatically if you buy something like a big SUV? Only if you turn on the engine.. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

: The current method of sequestering co2 is to pump it into underground chambers left empty from oil deposits. A more long-term solution would be to create calcium carbonate by pumping it through lime slurry, or use it to grow simple plants (algaes) and create more oxygen, trapping the carbon in the plants' cellulose. The algaes can then feed people and animals, and be used as fertilizer for other food crops. I've always found it terribly amusing that whenever the subject of air pollution comes up, a huge majority of the population has this vision of Earth suspended inside a sealed-up beach ball with a finite, unchanging volume of "air" that must be conserved, at all costs, and totally recycled for millions of years or we're all going to die.....a sort of vacuum chambered Earth. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Billions of tons of gas pour off the nearest star and a tiny bit of it blasts the magnetosphere with amazing array of highly charged ions, various gasses across the spectrum, and free atomic elements like electrons, neutrons, etc.....24 hours a day for millions of years. It gives you a little different picture, once you notice the TRAIL of GASES streaming off the dark side of the planet into space. Look at the dateline on this new article: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...-sun-stealing- atmosphere.html So, it appears we are NOT living in a sealed glass jar with the sun shining in. It appears we are part of the vacuum-cleaner! So, once we are outside the "Glass Envelope" thinking, wouldn't it stand to REASON, something some find hard to do, that if we inject CO2 or any gas into this DYNAMIC air that has new stuff blowing into it on one side and stuff blowing OFF it on the other....Wouldn't THAT be the reason why we're not choking to death on a billion or so years of various species burning WOOD to keep warm spewing out tons of toxic CO2 for the plants to turn into FOOD?! There is some good news, if you plan on staying around: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/20...-billion-year- life-extension/ -- ----- Larry Why aren't lakes that have had a hundred years of 2-stroke outboards spewing out millions of gallons of unburned fuel and Quaker State SAE 30 motor oil mixed 15:1....14" deep in them? Oil floats, right?? |

"Keith Nuttle" wrote in message ... If you know of another disposal method for the 3 billion tons Carbon Dioxide that is proposed to be captured from of coal fired energy plants please post to the group so we all will know. Don't just say I don't know what I am talking about. There is one other way to handle it but that will create 7 billion tons/year of metal salts that will have to be treated as toxic waste for eternity. This could be more depending on the metal they used to react with the carbon dioxide. I have a degree in Chemistry and worked in the chemical industry for many years so know my chemistry. I know federal disposal regulations for chemical disposal. Can you tell me the educational basis for your comments?

The algaes can then feed people and animals, and be used as fertilizer for other food crops. You can use 8 billion tons per year is this way? What are you going to do with the lime slurry? |

Hey, we just came out of "The Little Ice Age" about 150 years ago. I, for one, am happy as a clam that the Earth is getting a tad warmer.
