Here’s an article on a venture backed by Bill Gates to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
I’ve always been skeptical of these types of enterprise, on the basis of sheer mathematics. In this case, the technology involves collecting and baking biomass into rectangular solids the size of shoeboxes, covering them with an impenetrable coating to prevent decay, burying them in deep holes, and monitoring them indefinitely.
In 2025, the company predicts it will capture 15,000 metric tons of CO2, which 1 out of 2.5 million of the world’s annual CO2 emissions.
If I were in change of all this, I would simply grow trees, and turn the wood into building products designed to last at least 100 years. I think it’s a reasonable assumption that the next century will bring us to a place where we have vastly different issues in limiting/removing CO2 emissions.

Will Mr. Pillow Become the Next Governor of Minnesota?
According to a recent poll conducted by Emerson College, if the election were held today, Mike Lindell would lose to Amy Klobuchar by a margin of 53% to 31%.
Now, exactly what does that translate to in terms of a probability of Lindell’s winning? I’m unaware of a scientific method of making that calculation, but it can’t be more than 1 or 2 percent. Perhaps the same as a three-legged horse winning the Kentucky Derby this coming May.
Minnesota is one of the least favorable states in the union for a moron Trump supporting liar, who lost a $2.3 million defamation suit when he claimed that Dominion Voting Systems had rigged the 2020 election in favor of Biden.
Sure, California or Massachusetts would be worse, but most Minnesotans are well educated and affluent people with solid moral values.

Waste Tire to Fuels
It’s nice see that the company at left says that its “goal” is waste tire to fuels, rather than that it actually doing so, which would be a lie, albeit one that is commonly told.
About 15 years ago, there were many dozens of organizations working on this, but none of them succeeded, because the a) the technology wasn’t mature, and b) the whole enterprise wasn’t cost effective.

When Did America Turn Mean?
I would say it happened when Donald Trump entered the political scene in 2015 and wasn’t immediately laughed off the stage.
I remember calling my mother in disbelief and asking her if there wasn’t an unwritten rule that a successful presidential candidate has to be a decent and honorable human being. Sure, we elected Nixon (twice), but we didn’t know he was a criminal at the time.
