Default Stuck On Stupid

New scientific discovery to remove carbon from CO2. Gallium which is a metal that melts at near room temperature has been found to separate carbon from CO2. Simply need to introduce the gas into a vat of liquid gallium and the carbon floats to the top, easily collected for use in manufacturing processes such as making carbon fiber. Byproduct of the process is oxygen.

So why now is it liberals have decided it's a good time to double down on their stupidity of using CO2 as an excuse to destroy civilized society?

Great info and great article.

Looks like an enterprising person could make a fortune selling table-top gallium-liquid carbon removers to idiots on Amazon. You can buy all the supplies for it on Amazon too. All you need is some gallium, an aquarium bubbler, an aquarium heater, a small vat to hold the gallium and a shovel to bury (sequester) the carbon in your backyard next to your compost pile. An optional upgrade would be a solar panel to power the bubbler and heater.

Put one anywhere you or your cow might fart or breathe.

With any luck you could get the EPA to mandate that every household has at least one.

That's some funny stuff.

Yup, I expect this to become mandated equipment under the hood of every automobile per lawmakers. Will have to change carbon filters more often than the oil

Could be a good investment opportunity except the public will likely be locked out of participation...

What is Atlas Shrugged.

When you're right, you're right. And you're right. But I don't think the libs are hanging around waiting for ideas from me on how to screw over everybody alive. They're pretty good at thinking that stuff up all on their own.

I was just trying to inject some crony capitalism into the mix.

All we can do is keep the faith and humor and hope the next election is secured against ballot harvesting and mail-in fraud.

Enjoy your weekend!
