As we’ve noted in the past, the idea of capturing CO2 from the atmosphere is completely unfeasible, since 99.96% of the air around is something other than CO2 (mostly nitrogen). However, there are environments that change this equation radically, cement plants being one of them, where the concentration of CO2 emissions is as high as 30% (versus .04%).
Now, this brings the subject of synthetic fuels into the realm of possibility. Sure, if you want to make gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, you’ll need two other things: hydrogen (which can come from electrolyzing water), and a considerable amount of energy, as these processes are heavily endothermic, meaning that energy must be supplied from external sources.
The good news is that we have enormous amounts of off-peak wind and nuclear that are wasted every day. Please see: Doty WindFuels.

The End of Property Taxes
This concept has an enormous level of popularity in the Republican party. Exactly why?
What’s certain is that property taxes fund our schools, and without them, the common American would be even more ignorant than he is today, if that’s believable.
Now, which party benefits from poor education and a lack of the capacity for critical thinking?

Sending Top-Level Criminals to Prison Makes Sense, Unless They’re Americans, of Course
All Americans should know that most other countries act fast and hard against top-ranking people who act corruptly.
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is currently serving a 27-year prison sentence for a coup plot and attempting to overthrow democracy.
In 2008, when rich Icelanders had committed financial crimes that led to their country’s economic collapse, do you know what happened to them? Were they re-elected and left to loot their treasury? No, they were sent to prison.
Honest and free nations don’t encourage criminality. They send felons to prison. It’s not that hard, nor is it in any way controversial.

And Mexico Will Pay for the Wall
One of the most remarkable characteristics of Donald Trump is his shamelessness. No matter how many lies he gets caught in, he’s always willing to tell one more–one that’s even more outrageous.
One would think that he and his supporters would eventually reach a limit, but the answer is clearly that such a limit does not exist.
