Biden Set to Bet Billions on Tech That Sucks Carbon Out of the Air

[1srelluc]

The Biden administration is throwing its weight behind technology that sucks planet-warming carbon dioxide out of the air, and is poised to announce as soon as Friday the first winners of a $3.5 billion fund dedicated to developing the machines scientists say will be needed to stop the worst effects of climate change.

Projects proposed by Occidental Petroleum Corp. in Texas and Swiss start-up Climeworks AG in Louisiana are front runners for the first tranche of funding, some $1.2 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.

Damn, can any say Solyndra?

This is what comes of any type of omnibus spending.

People who have been buying Hunter Biden's paintings and similar activities connected to Biden, Pelosi, and a number of other politicians and players in DC (like Kerry) are going to get big piles of government money for companies that will go tits up in a few years after burning through billions stolen from taxpayers.

Bottom line.....Climate change = wealth redistribution through dem grift.

These stupid Moon Bats don't know anything about science.

If they did they would know that all of the biosphere is dependent upon CO2 either directly or indirectly.

"Hey, lets destroy the CO2 in our atmosphere, what could possibly go wrong?"

 

[JGalt]

So they want to Suffocate the trees and plants?

Wouldn't it be cheaper to pass a law requiring all liberals to hold their breath for one hour every day?

Probably end up just like that EV bus company that just filed bankruptcy that we (taxpayers) put billions into.. SMH

Biden-backed electric vehicle company files for bankruptcy

President Biden frequently extolled an electric vehicle company — in which his energy secretary heavily invested — before it declared bankruptcy on Monday.

Luckily, all the people in his administration that had stocks in the company, and Al Gore who lobbied for tax payer funds, sold their stocks right before they filed bankruptcy.
That was a grift, just like this carbon sucker.

The people do this shit right in our faces. Half the country does nothing about it but bitch. The other half defends it.
WTF is wrong with us?

Energy Policy Act of 2005
The Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 2005 (Public Law 109-58 ) calls for the development of grant programs, demonstration and testing initiatives, and tax incentives that promote alternative fuels and advanced vehicles production and use.

Who was president in 2005???

Why do you think that matters? You think a republican "gotcha" changes things?

It was a bipartisan agreement.

Maybe ''how is the weather?'' is code speak. lolol...

And opened up a shit ton of partisan government graft. They'll take the money and vanish into the ether.

Yep. Just like when they think it's a good idea to block out the sun. What could possibly go wrong with that scheme?

It's got absolutely nothing to do with alternative fuels or advanced vehicles, jackass party of slavery supporter.

We already have the technology. Plants.

Morons.

Yep, just like with Solyndra. Democrat fat cat donors get the money for some stupid Environmental Wacko project, declare bankruptcy and then get their payoffs. We see it all the time.

I wonder how many Democrat fat cats are going to make millions off all this money Potatohead is spending on his stupid Environmental Wacko projects, like building EV charging stations?

No, no, this scheme here is wayyyyy more whackadoodle than anything like that.

Isn't this the "pump the CO2 in a pipeline across several states and into deep underground" bullshit?

Yes! This is that absolute fuckin' lunacy!

I doubt they actually believe in that concept. Most likely it's all lies and graft with 10% going to The Big Guy.

Wow, I see this thread has the usual partisan nutcases chiming in. Honestly, you guys should spend more time researching and less time posting. First off, this was not some "omnibus spending". It was part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. It passed with Bipartisan support, 69 votes in the Senate. Both the senators from North Carolina voted for the bill, both are Republicans.

Then the claim that these contracts are rewarded based on bribes runs counter to what you numbnut Trumpbots have been screaming about for months. Occidental Petroleum is getting the majority of the money. I thought all the oil exploration companies were closing up job because of Biden? I mean which is it? Are they closing up shop or do they have Biden in their backpockets? Consistency isn't you guys strong suit.

Then we get some rocket scientist that says we already have carbon removal technology, plants. Well Du- Huh, no shit. But this technology, called Direct Air Capture, is far more efficient, and it provides measurable results. The World Economic Forum has stated that DAC must be implemented in order for us to get to a net zero CO2 emissions position.

At this point, only the most ignorant of people can be global warming deniers. And what is really comical, if you love your gasoline powered cars, love your oil fired furnace, love your natural gas stove, and even support coal fired power plants, well damn, then DAC should be right up your ally. Because for every bit of CO2 captured with DAC, well CO2 can be released by all those sources.

So, want to bitch about solar and wind, go for it. But you can't support the burning of fossil fuels and oppose DAC. Like I said, consistency is not you guys strong suit.

What a nutbar! "Yeah, we'll suck the CO2 out of the air and pipe it miles and miles to an underground facility."

And your dumbass is all onboard with that and claiming it's efficient!

I'm guessing by your post that you have some education but not much real world experience.

DAC bullshit is completely unnecessary and horribly inefficient, and in this instance they're going to take the money and

run, just like Solyndra and "Green energy" scams while Obama was president.

It's almost as if he's behind the levers of power right now.
