The problem is that Carbon capture plants produce CO2, which is already one of the most abundant gasses on Earth, and any commercial exploitation of that product would eventually just release it again. When the article says they’re “sequestering it in rock” they don’t mean they’re cracking CO2 into its constituent…

Yeah, it’s the brooding, teeming masses of ignorant brown folks in the global south to blame, not the industrialized world’s rapacious consumption of fossil fuels in industry.

Too bad this is not feasible in most places, as running this facility in a place without Iceland’s geothermal power generation dramatically reduces it’s net carbon reduction.

This becomes clearer everyday. He nailed the timing and initial launch of Tesla, regardless of how he procured the company, he rode that wave to great financial success. The rest has been an utter shitshow. Buying his cousin’s failing solar company with Tesla funding? Killing Twitter? Forcing Cybertruck to happen?…

I feel like 90% of conservative grievance comes from guys who are upset to find themselves getting treated the way our country has historically treated people of color, women and people without any real power.

Let Corben Dallas demonstrate the correct attitude when dealing with la migra:

The amount of discretionary police power given to CBP in that rather arbitrary 100 miles from the border limit is frightening. I live close to the border in Washington, and things here tend to be pretty mellow compared to other places, but the presence is always felt, and I’m told that folks in the Latino community…

Nah, bro. There are times when the cops should be skewered for their actions.

Sounds like you might like German luxury sedans from the 90s/00s!

I have bad news for this plane. If civilization is engulfed in nuclear hellfire, the planes that would refuel this one, the fuel itself, and probably the pilots, went up in smoke too.

So for only the price of ~7 baltimore bridges, we get a plane that will keep a dozen or so rich and powerful people alive for a few hours longer than the rest of us proles. Will they land on a bomb-proof runway outside of vault 114?

I don’t mind that my taxes will go towards replacing this bridge, it is a key piece of infrastructure that is vital to the US economy. What Ido mind is that shady contractors and politicians will get rich from it and people living within 2 miles of the bridge who desperately need jobs probably wont see a dime.

This will be tied up in courts for years and having a fixed point of reference to re-coop expenditures is a better outcome than having money deposited only to have the costs double. (Since this will very easily increase by 15% from overruns and inflation on materials/labor.)

I imagine this is like the Chicago Flood of the 90's where they had started the traditional bidding process to fix a known problem, but once it escalated, they just called the best guy for the job and told them to fix it. Not quite as straightforward with building a new bridge, but same principle is probably there. (I’…

Those front-end hurdles tend to get a lot shorter when responding to a disaster, like this. I think I read in previous articles that there have actually been talks about replacing the bridge before, so there actually may be a decent amount of front design considerations already started. Either way, when DOTs announce…

i because apple uses it in their product names so “i” became synonymous with “high tech”

I mean yea kinda. If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, yatta yatta. Its probably a fuckin duck 

My taste in cars probably makes me a war criminal, then.

I think this says more about business majors than it does about car enthusiasts. 

Or buy a gigantic vehicle with a large displacement motor, then add some heavy chunky “off road” tires and then complain about gas prices going up.
