There’s a tornado but the turbine is still moving so slow? You’d think they would be capitalizing on all that free wind!!

Carbon capture is hands down the worst plan we have. At the rate this carbon capture plant operates it would take 100,000 of them just to offset the emission from cars alone. 100,000 plants . Imagine how much metal had to be mined for those. How much product needs to be shipped and produced and built. How much ecological damage and emissions would just building them some create? Then you realize that they use lots of power to run them. Most of the world’s electricity still comes from fossil fuels. So to offset those emissions you now need even more plants. Where are you going to put 100,000 plus plants like this? Do you know how hard it is to get these kinds of things approved? Whose land is this going on?
That’s not even the stupidest part. The idea is that these plants will suck out the carbon and use a - I can’t believe I’m about to say this- a pipeline. A PIPELINE! To pump carbon dioxide underground. I mean who has ever heard of a pipeline leaking, right? And putting it underground? Do we have even the foggiest idea of the potential effect of that? What if it just seeps out through the ground and back into the atmosphere, choking out all the life along the way?
Now if that’s the stupidest part, the evil part is this: carbon capture is an excuse to continue fossil fuel. Why should anyone stop if we are capturing it? That means the reason these fuckjng things are going to get approved is because the goddamn oil companies are backing them! It’s worse than those worthless carbon offsets since this can actually cause so much harm to the world.
I’m so pissed off about carbon capture.
Who could have seen this coming
Dude how tf are we not just putting these at interstate rest stops. It’s a no brainer and they’re clearly going to fumble it

It’s just the mechanics of the back. You know how you’re supposed to keep your back straight when you pick up a heavy object? A pack on the front would strain the back by pulling it the other way and it would be uncomfortable.
Right now they are arguing whether article 14 includes the office of Presidency or not but I had to stop listening because I was getting myself worked up about it. Is the presidency an elected office- yes or no? If yes then article 14 includes the president
That’s airing today! Oh I’m so excited to watch it after work that looks so adorable
Thank you for the detailed answer. I was really just making a joke, but I still do appreciate how much I have learned here.
