  1. The plants on earth are capable of pulling carbon out of the atmosphere and restoring balance IF we stop dumping it back in. The plants were the ones that created the atmosphere in the first place, and deposited the carbon removed from the atmosphere below ground, storing both carbon and power. All of that originally came from the sun, and we can get it from the sun as well, though wind and direct sunlight. The only other power source on earth is nuclear, which we can extract from geothermal sources (yes, francine, that power came from nuclear sources inside the earth) or directly from fission or fusion. In my opinion it is most cost effective, in the long run, is extraction via direct solar, indirect via offshore wind, and indirect via geothermal. Any use of carbon based energy from the ground is not renewable, and will eventually kill us. We CAN form a balanced and sustainable energy economy.
