The largest industrial re-tooling happened when WWII started and then again when it ended. Right now, we are facing a similar large scale opportunity to re-tool. But instead of re-tooling factories to build tanks, we need to re-tool how we capture carbon from our air.
1) Cap and trade just hasn’t worked as a way to clean our air. We need free enterprise to drive this, not a mandated tax on consumers and businesses.
2) The key to better air is better soil and photosynthesis is the link between the two. Improve the soil, you improve the air.
3) We need a new source of water for better soil. The good news is that we have a new source of water for western arid lands in the form of by-product/produced water. It’s just ready to be cleaned and land applied.
4) Carbon capture initiatives need to be about cleaning the air and not exorcising fossil fuel from use. Our world is moving away from fossil fuels. Until that’s reaches critical mass, we STILL must clean up the air. So, carbon capture methods need to at least allow the energy sector to be involved, specifically in providing a new source of water.
This can work. We’re proving it up with a pilot project in Wyoming right now.
