The federal government is investing in machines that suck giant amounts of carbon dioxide out of the air in the hopes of reducing damage from climate change.

Companies such as Carbon Engineering and Climeworks are building direct air capture facilities that use giant fans to suck carbon dioxide out of the air and store it underground, or capture it to make synthetic fuel, soft drinks or concrete. But the facilities built so far remove just a tiny fraction of the carbon dioxide that scientists say is necessary to make a difference.

Carbon Engineering is working with Oxy Low Carbon Ventures and 1PointFive to develop a facility in the Permian Basin which would capture 1 million tons of CO2 annually. The DOE money will support four large-scale regional direct air capture hubs that will include a network of carbon dioxide removal projects that each have the capacity to remove 1 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. Those projects will prioritize community engagement and environmental justice, the DOE said.

“The time is right for this,” Aines said. “And the only way to really know whether we’re going to like this kind of approach is to try it out.”

Too much carbon removal will kill all life on earth. M arr

That won’t do anything about the buildup of methane, which is four times as powerful a greenhouse gas as carbon dioxide.

I hope you folks go hungry and sit at home alone thanks to your woke climate policies when y’all get voted OUT of office.

Ok. Now it’s jumped the shark....

Are they called trees ?

Good

It seems ridiculous and comic, not serious about climate change issue.

So they’re admitting fault

They can start by putting a dome over DC… world would cool by 20 degrees!

How many of these “machines” would it take to replace the Carbon reducing capabilities of all the trees cut down in the Amazon?

that would be nice

Why they are not try for the other option . cryptocurrency BTC

Honk honk

We need carbon dioxide to survive.

-Complete Loonies taken for frauders...

Carbon sequestration plant

Ye! We can put these machines in our street. But I don't think we gonna get these machines for the next decade or two.

The Carbon Con.....It's Cousin Is Crypto.....

Trust our politicians to give our money away without any guarantee of results.

Man it’s all fun and games until the plants can’t breathe and the vegans eat meat..

it is crap

Tree

So trees?

What a waste of money.

And where do they put it…

I’ve heard about those machines it’s a drop in the budget!

Send them to China. They are the worst offenders.

Trees and plants: *exists with that purpose* US government: I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that.

Trees breathe in carbon.....🙄 Let's plants those instead.

🌳

you mean trees and things?

As the quote in the article reads, “the only way to really know whether we’re going to like this kind of approach is to try it out.”

I can hear Mel Brooks now. ‘Turn it to suck mode’.

I think this sounds like a hoax project to extract money from the Federal Government. Pray it is not so. Pray it is real science, and successful.

How absurd. Plants need CO2 to live.

What is a tree Alex

You mean... Trees? Ffs. 🤦

BULLSHIT just for hidden corruption

Are they going to install them in China?

Translation- they are growing cannabis-

They are called Trees...

Are they green and have leaves

The Planet literally relies on carbon

*turns paper over*..... To refine and sell.....

We plant trees

They are making trees? Cool

They are called trees.

Join the REAL Green Movement. Replace Every Wind Turbine/Solar Panel With a Tree🌲🌳🌴. REPowerEU EUGreenDeal GreenNewDeal climate

You mean like plants?

Are trees too expensive?

I know something that takes giant amount of Co2 out of the air it’s called trees!!! You plant trees!!!

stop spending my taxes on useless shit

Soooooo....trees?

Just plant some trees!

Literally buy a patch of land and grow trees. Even a kid would know this is a better way than what you are about to do.

How about the democrats investigate the ukriane laundering or hunters laptop

Uber trees...

orrr hear me out: TREES

Nature did this already

News media government come up with a truly stupid idea to steal more money from taxpayers. We love it and think Biden is a genius 🤡😂🚩🤦‍♂️

Just plant more trees, geniuses.

One would think that the government would invest heavily in creating desalination plants along the east and west coast to combat droughts

suzutsuki3rd Salome16552580 那树怎么办😆

Hopefully someone is formulating a plan to regulate carbon capture and coordinate efforts. Pulling too much out of the atmosphere is as bad as having too much in it.

Can they be modified to suck the bull***t out of Morrison & his cronies🤔🥴

It needs to be done. This is I believe is the only real solution. The international carbon targets are impossible to enforce and hard to follow.

Those are called trees and they've been doing that for millennia

And plant more and more trees. Please stop the people doing the wild fires.

The US gives over $20 Billion a year to the oil industry to pollute the air; they should at list clean out their own mess!

Backed by Bill Gates and Chevron of course….

I'm pretty sure trees do this already. Plus they produce oxygen. Maybe plant 3.5 billion worth of trees see how that works out instead of creating machines to starve trees.

What are all the vegans going to eat when plants stop growing?

Remember when deliberately buried the Epstein Island story to protect elitists like the Clintons, royal family, Hollywood celebs, and Bill Gates, resulting in who knows how many more victims abducted, raped, tortured and murdered?

Gov’t, probably

Why not use some of that war money and use it to plant some trees.

Or plant trees

They’re called TREES

Just plant trees

and they are filling the air with chemtrails of harmful chemicals. so we pay them to put the crap in the air and then take it out! it has nothing to do with climate change. Gods in charge if that and its just fine!

Tones of Theranos?

They can't be serious.

Will these machine's suck up water as well to reduce rising sea levels. If not should we stick to planting trees that are about 50% water.

Follow the money.

As usual all you have to do with the Democrats is follow the money. Who’s getting paid this time and will The Big Guy get his 10%?

Will these machines also produce carbon dioxide?

Trees. You are describing what trees do.

Stop saying federal government is investing, it’s should read, hard working tax paying Americans are investing

Trees. What they want are trees.

So trees essentially 🤡

Congrats to Biden policies for breaking the all time high for CO2. Q—how will the machines be powered?

How many trees could be planted for $3.5 bil? Or how much algae?

We used to call those trees

So if there's no ROI (after all the community engagement and environmental justice, I mean), do we get our money back this time?

Cash those kickback checks Jen

What’s the name of the company’s so I can invest. I guess I can make some money off the democrats fake company’s like during the Obama years

There's 3.5B dollars wasted

Or better yet design machines that can block out the sun, or an even better better idea drop a giant block of ice into the ocean thus cooling the earth

Send to China ,they are one of the largest polluters on the planet

The weather machine from General Hospital back in the 80s will come true! Luke save us now!

We call them trees.

Just here for the ratio so richly served and deserved.

So they’re buying trees?

🚨🚨🤣😂🤣😂🚨🚨🤡🤡🤡🤡👆👆👆👆🤡🤡🤡🤡

So they're gonna swindle $3.5B more off American taxpayers to plant more trees? Got it.

This is brilliant! Game changer.

What about our border and while you’re at it POTUS Turn on America’s oil and gas Americans need affordable energy and electricity seanhannity USATODAY newsmax WSJ SpeakerPelosi GOPLeader NBCNews CBSNews Sen_JoeManchin PressSec SenMarkKelly

They are called windmills and solar panels

But first get solve that Baby milk issue JoeBiden KamalaHarris 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Well they can just make prostitution legal and they do the job and they will not just be straight females . There be gigolos, call girls, lgbt etc to get that money

Twenty years too late.

Meanwhile using nuclear power produces almost 0% co2

It’s about time. Environmentalists have been laughing off this technology …but carbon capture is a great idea. We simply can’t control what other countries are doing to the environment. It is time to go a different route to make an impact.

The only thing these magic machines will be sucking is money out of taxpayers' pockets.

First do the damage then invest in controlling it. Is higher education meant for this. Centuries back humans lived without provoking nature, more the science worst the scene.

lebih baik periksa dulu....new delhi dan nebraska....

Planting trees would not be as profitable

Sounds sketchy af lol
