Over sixty articles, lab reports and links are cited on a) how best to capture CO2 and b) how best to catalyze CO2 into synthetic fuels and feedstocks. Important developments are reviewed by Robert Service at Science, AAAS on CO2 Capture, Tim Wogan at Chem World on producing H2 via water/gas shift method and Ellen Brown, author, “The Cheapest Way to Save the Planet Grows Like a Weed,” Web of Debt Blog, 7/30/19, on the advantages of hemp biofuels. The case is made for the profitable renovation of central plants, like Vermont’s wood plants and Vermont Yankee, to make them “carbon neutral” first and then “carbon negative” in two stages well within 10 years. This essay covers main points from a CO2 Reuse research summary written for the Renewable Nations Institute, posted in “Comments” on the council website Nov. Both reports bring dire warnings but no new solutions, not already considered and not fast enough.

Recent reports from the IPCC and COP26 say we must begin to remove carbon from the atmosphere by 2030! In other words, reduction without removal is like digging a hole in the sky and filling it again. Ideally, CO2 reduction should come hand in hand with active removal of CO2 from the sky simultaneously and profitably. Cree fishing villages have suffered terribly over decades. Rotting vegetation emits methane and CO2 into air and methyl mercury into adjacent waterways. Besides, Vermont is way too dependent on Hydro-Quebec, which is not the clean green power it was thought to be. More, he can propose that renovating Vermont’s wood plants can cover twice that gap, cited above, and help meet new demand for electric cars and heat pumps. Scott may still change his mind and support the heating provision or his own version. Scott quickly vetoed that idea, demonstrating fast action on the climate front, but not the right action. The council then targeted the heating market to reduce CO2 emissions by 500,000 tons by 2025 or so. Complicating matters, Vermont’s Climate Action Plan was upended after the implosion of the Transportation and Climate Initiative, set up to promote electric cars. Vermont’s Global Warming Solutions Act is all about reducing CO2 emissions but avoids active removal of CO2 from air, perhaps because it is considered too costly, addressed below. These truths will blow away the dumb rage of Trumpism and Putinisim at the ballot box, even as Garland fiddles. Climate justice and civil rights will only come hand in hand.

America can be great again like never before if we unite with native people and new immigrants and all kinds of Americans - white folk too - in support of free and fair elections. Carbon forests need protection and expansion.īesides, except for Indigenous Americans, we are a nation of immigrants and their children, after all.

Irrigating deserts will cool climate substantially and increase yields of food and biofuel crops, such as hemp, that replace fossil and forest fuels directly. They too deserve a Green New Deal to retrain them as farmers, foresters and firefighters out West and wild East. Immigrants are still the life’s blood of our formerly great nation. We mustn’t let these good, desperate people get away without exploiting them as future citizens, taxpayers, consumers, workers and community developers. Speaking of MAGA, one way to make America great again for the first time is to create green jobs for all kinds of Americans, including new immigrants. How do we save earth’s climate if MAGA fanatics sweep the next two elections? Worse, he’s stealing the next election by claiming the last, i.e. Anyway, he’s covered in the highest court of the land beyond all reasonable doubt by the magic cloak of implausible deniability, or so we are told. Then, how do we save our climate without free and fair elections? Truth is if we don’t fight like hell, we won’t have a democracy, a climate or a country anymore, as Trump did not admit exactly. What is Attorney General Garland doing or not doing that he should be doing? Putin and Trump are old friends and twin fiends. Why fight the good fight for democracy in Ukraine but let it slip away in our own country through criminal neglect? The enemy is identical. Now, here are a few hard questions for historical context on the present unpleasantnesses. Utilities now can do it themselves for profit with EPA guidance and Department of Energy support. EPA now won’t be able to force utilities to clean up plants. They do not actively, directly or intrinsically remove CO2 from air.Ĭarbon dioxide removal can and must be profitable or will not happen fast enough to actually help save us. Solar and wind farms are zero-emission only if you don’t count the emissions to build them. More, they can profit by removing CO2 from the sky.
