The Biden administration plans to do what?  Yes, you read the headline correctly.  Joe Biden and his minions are moving forward with a plan to use “huge vacuum cleaners” to remove millions of metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air.  If that sounds like a really stupid idea to you, that is because it is a really stupid idea.  We are in the very early chapters of a horrific global food crisis, and crops need carbon dioxide to grow.  If we were able to find a way to remove all carbon dioxide from our atmosphere, all plants would die and humanity would rapidly go extinct from starvation.  So when we are messing around with carbon dioxide, we are literally messing around with a life-giving gas that makes life on this planet possible.

But when it comes to messing things up, we should never underestimate Joe Biden’s ability.  On Friday, his administration announced that more than a billion dollars will be spent on “huge vacuum cleaners” in Louisiana and Texas that will be used to suck massive amounts of carbon dioxide out of the air…

The Biden administration on Friday announced its first major investment to kickstart the US carbon removal industry – something energy experts say is key to getting the country’s planet-warming emissions under control.

Direct air capture removal projects are akin to huge vacuum cleaners sucking carbon dioxide out of the air, using chemicals to remove the greenhouse gas. Once removed, CO2 gets stored underground, or is used in industrial materials like cement. On Friday, the US Department of Energy announced it is spending $1.2 billion to fund two new demonstration projects in Texas and Louisiana – the South Texas Direct Air Capture hub and Project Cypress in Louisiana.

This is really going to happen.
