  1. Sigh, we can not grow the plant life necessary to stop the increase of CO2, the arable land required does not exist on this planet.

  2.  @reb-jr8ds  Windmill Blades? You are kidding right? Do you even KNOW that they're made of?
    5
  3.  @miketech79  WRONG. And duh, or course. We do not measure temperature "millions of years ago" with a "thermometer." Back to School try reading a little.
    5
  4.  @reb-jr8ds  That's correct. And it does NOT matter as THAT carbon is OUT OF THE ATMOSPHERE. It does not matter. It did not matter when that carbon in those blades was captured by fixing it in a matrix for the blade. THAT carbon did not go into the ATMOSPHERE. And now it has been RETURNED underground where is first existed. ALL OF THIS DOES NOT MATTER.
    4
  5. Finally some sense. The "pollution" or "cost" from "making them" DOES NOT MATTER. What MATTERS is how the ENERGY that charges the BATTERY is produced.

  6.  @rustyheyman214  What EVERYONE forgets, even the climate change Apostles, is that the end point is GROWING OUR FOOD = "just right."

  8. No of course not, it will be the end of western civilization as we know it.

  9. Observed weather patterns over a lifetime are a MEANINGLESS to explaining or predicting the effect of the carbon cycle. Might as well stick your finger into a cold pot of water on a stove burner set to HIGH and say "well it ain't boiling so I guess it ain't going to boil" "observed weather" What HORSESHIT.

  10. Still, the US should be a leader always, now the world laughs at US.

  11.  @jimk4267  "We are actually at a low point." This statement boggles any sense of rational thought. "And you really believe ALL the CO2 should be sucked out of the atmosphere?" WTF? Who TF said this? WTFAYTA? YOU don't 'make sense.'

  25.  @miketech79  Still confused, sarcasm AKA pulling a John Lennon is difficult to read. We do not "measure" as we have not the time machine to do so. We calculate based upon other physical properties of the environment at that time that have lasted until NOW. So, please partake, HOW do we KNOW the temperature million of years ago?

  32. Ooooohhh yet ANOTHER useless factoid with NO bearing on the issue. And made up POOYA apparently. "0.002%" and "20 of the current" Wow, what made up crap. Fox News I bet was the "source." Humanity accounts for ALL of the rise ABOVE the cyclic high. (hey! quick question! what is the periodicity of the carbon cycle????) duh. The actual percentage is 0.04% and that is HIGH because of the molecule's ability to ABSORB HEAT at the FREQUENCY RADIATED BY THE SUN. Lesson: A little bit of CO2 goes a long way to HEATING THE FUCKING PLANET.
    1
  33. This is about the CARBON, 130 years ago a stodgy professor did a simple heat transfer physics-based calculation, ADDING CARBON TO THE ATMOSPHERE HEATS THE PLANET. And NOTHING any conspiracy denial MAGA braindead minion has ever thought or said changes THIS. (can you even DO math? 1+2+3 = ?)

  34. Sure, we are, where the hell did we ever say otherwise? Give any zealot green and we'll buy it. So from your rant, it looks as if you believe that CARBON is going to cook and kill the planet?

  45. You are also spewing CRAP. It does not matter about "volcanos" as this is the BACKGROUND NOISE of carbon into the atmosphere for hundreds of millions of years. We, HUMANITY, are the new producers of carbon into the atmosphere, ADDING what has never been added before now. Please My God there should be a test for voting.

  46. ​ @andyjurkans7523  "Save as severe" CRAPOLA. It does not matter about "severe bushfires" as this is the BACKGROUND NOISE of carbon into the atmosphere of the normal carbon cycle (cycle = cyclic round and round from the Greek) that has taken place for for hundreds of millions of years. We, HUMANITY, are the NEW producers of carbon into the atmosphere, ADDING what has never been added before now, and the SPIKE is statistically apparent and noticeable.

  58. Westerman's FIRST question, are we overstepping "the law" by measuring carbon emissions from transportation? WTF is possibly wrong with that? What in ANYONES conspiracy mind is wrong with measuring something? Except that the Oil & Gas industry doesn't want it reported? Westerman YOU are a paid SHILL for the Oil & Gas Lobby from which, in the 2nd qtr. of 2022 reported RECORD PROFITS by selling us a greenhouse gas emitter energy source.

THAT is the ultimate end point of this. OH, wait a minute! You TRUST the very scientists that you dis-believe to find a way to feed us somehow in the future? All 8 Billions and RISING? Is that your "adapt?" YOU are WRONG and irresponsible. We will "adapt" by the deaths of BILLIONS. Who cares? YOU do not care and by putting on the blinders like the horse pulling the carbon cart down the hill with no brakes we will crash.

  135. Yes, the planet DOES have a carbon cycle, and we have measured it over MILLLIONS of years, it's periodicity is approximately 100,000 years.

  139.  @kennethbugbee7357  The Planet doesn't care about our hypocrisy, only how much carbon we release into the atmosphere.
    1
  140. ​ @windmill2517  If you don't believe that HUMANITY, in its industrial processes, is placing MORE carbon it the atmosphere that the planet's natural carbon cycle does, then there is nothing to argue over. You are done, fin, you don't believe, nothing to talk about. But if otherwise, then add up how much CARBON each of these processes you mention produces (most likely assuming none of them employ any carbon "recapture" i.e., placing the carbon back underground) then add up how much CARBON each process is produced from a conventional internal combustion (IC) engine car. THEN charge that battery (nuclear, solar, wind is ZERO carbon by the way) and then place an equivalent amount (miles of travel) of GAS into the IC car, and keep doing this, for example, 100,000 miles (5 years of driving?) 5-1/2 pounds of carbon for producing a gallon of gas. If you charge your battery with nuclear, or wind, or solar (a number of us do) that carbon is ZERO. Even if you charge the battery with coal or gas generated electricity distributed to you home the figure is low, about 0.2 pounds of carbon per electric equivalent of gallon of gas. The end result of all of this is the CARBON to produce that battery or make that car, either IC or battery, is MINISCULE compared to the total carbon into the atmosphere at the end of an internal combustion gas-powered car's life. IT MATTERS LITTLE how much carbon is produced in making these things. (not talking pollution here, just CARBON into the atmosphere resulting in the greenhouse effect) IT DOESN'T MATTER! (no one ever said production is zero carbon, except the FOX NEWS MORONS)

  142.  @windmill2517  NONE of these processes puts CARBON into the atmosphere (except perhaps the ENERGY produced by FOSSIL FUELS that power this battery making process). Sure all of this shit is TOXIC and we're going to have to live with lined, covered, and monitored pits to store this toxic waste. Clear now on how this works? And how this does NOT put more CARBON into the atmosphere?

  143.  @windmill2517  Where the heck are you getting this "6%?" 6% "influence?" Where did you read this or hear THIS on Fox News? WHO said or published this CRAP? Where the heck are you getting this "30% greener" than "60 years ago?" What is being MEASURED? (chlorophyll? satellite photos of "color?" no satellites 60 years ago by the way) The spike is greater than ANY LEVEL in recorded HISTORY (million years and counting by the way) and you are saying the same 'ole denials tale of it's because of "volcanos" and 'the seas' or 'greenness." This is mixed-up pseudo-science CRAP. The CARBON is the mechanism, the CAUSE, it is NOT the OUTCOME. What matters, what we are talking about is the planets' ENVIRONMENT at the top of the carbon cycle. YOU think it is livable and you are WRONG. And it doesn't matter about you or I or even the next couple of generations. We all will be long gone (unless you are cryogenically freezing your head to be revived later?) and the future generations trying to live hear and grow food will be cursing us ignorant primitives' who could have done something and did not. Please do not respond, getting mighty tired of intercoursing with the BRAINWASHED of this country.

  144.  @nicholassims1947  I am in love with Climate Change Deniers, they ALWAYS mention something on the piss-ant human time scale, "11 year sun spot cycle " For all the relevance to this problem, might as well have mentioned the number of times we use a toaster on this planet and we'd "save a lot of carbon" if we all switched to white bread rather than English muffins because they take too long to toast and the toaster heats up the kitchen a little more with the muffin. MORONS. An 11 year sun spot cycle has NOTHING to do with this planet's 100,000 year carbon cycle. Stop getting info from a company owned by the intercoursing CHINESE. You believe THEY want America to do the Right Thing?

  145.  @psycholuigiman  200 helium bed atomic piles on our coastlines cracking seawater into hydrogen. nobody has said change will not have to come it is very CONVIENENT to ignore the carbon cycle of this planet very convenient UNTIL we start to DIE from the CLIMATE change because we can no longer grow the food to feed the 20 billion that will now be starving on this little blue ball all for green companies profiting taking us there then having the MASSIVE profits going to Oil & Gas that got us in trouble in the first place. snake oil? the carbon cycle of this planet don't sell no such thing. it simple IS. (since the 1890s by the way when the science first came up) only Fox News sells the snake his oil.

  151.  @axlejohnson9156  so , you AGREE, there is a PROBLEM, and we are killing the planet? And the solution is to increase NASA's budget and look another livable planet? But I believe you are merely being sarcastic and believe there is no solution? My eyes are WIDE OPEN and I see we are cooking the planet with the end result being billions of deaths because we will not be able to feed ourselves. Nothing you've said changes this FACT. So you are saying because the solutions are so expensive it will be impossible "to pay for them" and therefore all of this talk is just a liberal agenda.

  152.  @axlejohnson9156  What "experts" are saying at the current carbon concentrations (where we are NOW in only <200 years and NOT in 100,000 years) the temperature will not change even one degree? WHO? (and not FOX News please!) WRONG, the cycles run over 100,000 years NOT "100s", and the CARBON is the CAUSE but NOT the outcome. What is the planet like at the top of the carbon cycle? So the Democrats want to force an "agenda" but the Republicans say "I don't believe this global warming" and DO NOTHING. Easy real easy to do nothing and point a conspiracy finger. And that's where we are today. (And the national debt continues to rise like a homesick angel). OK; we disagree, I believe we CAN do it, we can FIX this, we KNOW how, yes it is EXPENSIVE, but on its' current path the PLANET will cook and BILLIONS of people will die (can't grow the food).

  153. ​ @axlejohnson9156  OK, what to do? WHAT is your plan? So you agree we are killing the planet and it takes TIME for the Titanic to stop? We're at 420 co2 ppm NOW and it ain't stopping, need to stop, who cares how expensive? how toxic? and what the paid politicians (both sides) are NOT saying using sound and TV-bites to control our vote? Toxic CAN be controlled and Expense usually means JOBS, someone has to work it. (so that leaves the debt)

  154. ​ @axlejohnson9156  Give one link, just one link or reference to ANYONE (other than Fox "News") saying that "the planet is going to implode over the next five years" NO ONE is saying this. The planet, Gia, has mass, and a biological mass, and therefore INERTIA. It has taken over 250 years (start of industrial revolution) to get here and it will take MORE than this to reverse the trend because we must not only stop putting CARBON into the atmosphere but we must take some out to return to the CARBON CYCLE curve. The urgency from Democrats is the longer we delay the harder it becomes to remove that CARBON. (The Republicans want you to believe there is no problem to solve at all) Call it fear mongering, sure, and it ain't working is it? We're only human and subconsciously we know it doesn't matter to us because we will be long gone by the time the billions of people are starving because we can't grow sufficient food. I BLAME any global warming denier of ignorant participation in the GENOCIDE to come. "Sensible efforts" sure, by Democrats, (that walking embarrassment TRUMP came into office and cancelled most of the OBAMA emissions restrictions) You mention "our air and water" Sure, important. But that is TOXINS, not global warming, sure it is important absolutely, but you are mixing up the issues.

Please My God there should be a test for voting because under the current system we are killing ourselves!

Because the DOT head doesn't have the info at his fingertips on questions HE IS NOT REPONSIBLE FOR (that's the responsibility of the EPA) this somehow changes the amount of CARBON we are placing into the atmosphere at a current rate of 120 million tons a day? a day. And somehow YOU know how much is enough? 50? 100? 1000? all ok?? You'll be long gone by the time we KNOW and your kids will be cursing you (have you bred) as they farm what little growable land remains down in the F'ing Antarctic.

  163.  @robertsmith2956  WTFAYTA?
    1
  164.  @robertsmith2956  NO she does not. WTF did you get that rumor conspiracy theory?? HORSESHIT. Reports like this one, saying Pelosi routinely flies about in her own 757-size jet, have been floating around for almost two years. The claims were revived when Democrats complained that CEOs of the Big Three U.S. automakers had used their corporate jets to come to Washington to seek billions in federal aid. But the rumors are incorrect. Spokespeople for Pelosi and Andrews Air Force Base say that the speaker has used the big Air Force jet once, but she normally uses a much smaller plane, the same one used by the previous speaker of the House, Republican Dennis Hastert. The spread of this rumor – and its first debunking – dates back to February 2007. At that time, the speaker of the House had had access to an Air Force craft for about five and a half years. Hastert had been issued a plane after Sept. 11, 2001, for security reasons (the speaker of the House is next in line after the vice president for presidential succession). Hastert used an Air Force C-20B, a small 12-seater based on the Gulfstream III, to travel to his home district in Illinois. (Ford and GM auto executives, incidentally, travel in the slightly larger Gulfstream IV.) When Pelosi became speaker, House Sergeant at Arms Bill Livingood, according to his own account, worried that the small craft would be unable to travel to her home district of San Francisco without stopping to refuel. Livingood, who was first elected by a Newt Gingrich-led House in 1995, asked the Air Force and the Department of Defense about getting a bigger plane. He also requested clarifications of other rules regarding the aircraft – for instance, whether family members would be allowed to accompany Pelosi on her flights. According to ABC News’ Jake Tapper, Capt. Herb McConnell of the Air Force said that the C-20B is sometimes able to make cross-country flights without refueling, but that it depends on headwinds. The much larger C-32, a military version of a Boeing 757 that’s usually used by the vice president and the first lady, is easily able to make a nonstop flight across the country. But it’s also on the lavish side. It’s not quite a 200-seater, but it does include 50 business-class seats and a full stateroom with a private lavatory and entertainment system. We’ve seen no evidence, however, that Livingood specifically requested for Pelosi to have access to the C-32, which is the largest plane available at the 89th Airlift wing at Andrews Air Force Base. According to his statement, he requested a plane that was able to fly cross-country. Pelosi spokespeople at the time said that the speaker would be happy to use a smaller plane that could make a nonstop cross-country flight. The Pentagon responded to this request by saying that it would make "every effort … to provide non-stop shuttle support," but that Pelosi’s aircraft access would depend on availability. Officials also clarified that Pelosi’s family members and other members of Congress could fly with her, but they would have to reimburse the government for their flights and food, paying the price of a coach ticket on a commercial airline. Pelosi would have to submit a written request for her family or other Congress members to accompany her on flights. The Pentagon response stoked rumors that Pelosi had requested access to a posh personal craft for herself and anyone she wanted to bring along. Tapper traces the rumor back to House Minority Whip Roy Blunt, who called the C-32 "a flying Lincoln bedroom." That’s not a wholly inaccurate assessment of the plane (there’s even a pull-out bed!), but Blunt implied that Pelosi had expressly requested such extravagance. White House spokesman Tony Snow called this a "silly story," breaking with congressional Republicans who objected to Pelosi’s supposedly over-the-top request. At a press briefing, Snow reiterated that the conversations about plane travel were perfectly routine: Snow, Feb. 7, 2007: After September 11th, the Department of Defense – with the consent of the White House – agreed that the Speaker of the House should have military transport. And so what is going on is that the Department of Defense is going through its rules and regulations and having conversations with the Speaker about it. So Speaker Hastert had access to military aircraft and Speaker Pelosi will, too. Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly told FactCheck.org that the speaker does have access to military air travel. When she flies to her home district, she uses whatever Air Force craft is available. Daly told us that "they try to do a nonstop flight." But the plane Pelosi uses most often is the C-20B, and she has occasionally used even smaller planes. According to Daly, Pelosi once used the C-32 when no other planes were available, but she also has had to stop for refueling on at least one trip on a smaller aircraft. Pelosi’s family has traveled with her a few times, but they had to reimburse the government for the cost of their tickets, as stipulated in the Pentagon’s letter. Congress members who are traveling to California sometimes do the same. Pelosi only uses the jet to travel between Washington, D.C., and San Francisco on official business. For any other trip, she and her family use commercial airlines. Update, December 22: After this story was posted, we received word from Eric Sharman, deputy chief of public affairs at Andrews Air Force Base, confirming what Pelosi’s spokesman told us about her aircraft use. Sharman said that Pelosi has in the past used the C-20B and the slightly larger C-37A, depending on availability, and that these may or may not be able to make a nonstop cross-country flight depending on conditions. He confirms that Pelosi has used the C-32 once and only once, when no other planes were available. Update, March 23: The Web site Judicial Watch has made public e-mails to and from the Department of Defense regarding Pelosi’s travel requests. The conservative organization claims the e-mails show that Pelosi has made “unreasonable requests for military travel.” These e-mails, however, back up what we were told by Pelosi’s staff and by the Air Force, i.e., that Pelosi did not usually travel on the C-32 and that any family members or other members of Congress she brought with her on flights to her home district were asked to reimburse the cost of a coach ticket. The messages are about smaller planes, not the 757-size jet. Also, most of the e-mails are not about shuttles to and from Pelosi’s home district at all, but are about congressional delegations to other states and countries. Pelosi’s office oversees transportation for these trips for all members of the House, not just the speaker. For a little more detail on the Judicial Watch-released e-mails, see our post on the FactCheck Wire, "Plane False."

  167.  @cathybarker5086  They are typically made from layered carbon fiber. It does take ENERGY to make them. And the ENERGY typically comes from fossil fuels. And it is completely NOT RELAVENT. Every second a windmill is turning is a second that some fossil fuel powered ENERGY plant is NOT pumping carbon into the atmosphere, year after year after year after year NOT pumping carbon into the atmosphere. We are being FOOLED by these political clowns and their TV camera posturing. How many wind turbines to cover the US electrical grid? Have YOU even looked for this? (1-1/4 million wind turbines) How much land will this take in the US? Have YOU even looked for this? (500 square miles of land required to do this) What percentage of US land is this? Have YOU even looked for this? (0.01 % of the US) Pointing political fingers at each other with us voting CHUMPS listening is NOT SOLVING THE PROBLEM.

And now it has been RETURNED underground where is first existed. ALL OF THIS DOES NOT MATTER to the Carbon Cycle of this Planet.

  170.  @akshonclip  SURE. And that plastic is from fossil fuel (carbon that used to be UNDER the mantel of this planet and is now OVER the mantel of this planet, i.e., the atmosphere) and is produced by energy from mostly fossil fuels. And it does not matter. The NET carbon is what the atmosphere responds to. Don't say "oil" Don't say "gas" Don't say "coal" Say "energy produced resulting in carbon release into the atmosphere. That is what MATTERS. Every second that windmill blade is turning is another second that a fossil fuel is NOT being burned and releasing its CARBON into the ATMOSPHERE. Not even a close comparison as to what is better for HUMANTY'S ability to alter the carbon cycle of this planet.

"Grand solar minimum" Blah blah blah. "Grand solar maximum" too! Blah Blah Blah. Might as well have looked to that groundhog popping out of his hole to predict climate change. Yah@alittleresearch !

  253. Hydrogen YES. Canola NO. Canola is just a grain that is fertilized by fixing nitrogen by the Bosch process (Oil & Gas), so it is STILL releasing carbon into the atmosphere. 200 helium-bed atomic reactors along our coastlines cracking seawater into hydrogen. ZERO EMMISIONS. But if we do this, what would Republican MAGA conspirators have to talk about?

  264. We DO "have the measurements." Climate deniers refuse to look at them. And they correlate back MILLIONS of years. And the "measurements" are from two independent sources (Quick! Can YOU name them? Nope, thought not) and correlate to ONE thing: HUMANITY is putting carbon into the atmosphere at a far greater rate than any "natural" phenomena. How long do you want to wait? I'm guessing past the time YOU are dead and have passed the problem onto our future. (YOUR kids, if you have bred that is) Do what is necessary and we, HUMANITY, live. (either we've fixed the problem or there was not a problem, who cares? we LIVE) Wait and take the chance that it is indeed REAL and we may DIE. I'll take the first scenario and you I guess like to go to Vegas and bet the mortgage. Please My God we need a test for voting in this country ASAP.

  265.  @tamitami9275  THEY THEY THEY. WRONG WRONG WRONG. "This" started 120 years ago. But you got one thing correct, the timeline, YOU will be long gone and your kids (have you bred?) will be cursing you. This problem occurs on a time scale that people just refuse to accept. Deny all you want, you will be gone, and the Planet keeps on Ticking.

  269.  @harryvarner6652  You missed the point, the DOT is not tasked in ANY way to take on climate change, the DOT does not and does not by LAW having ANY oversite. Its like asking the hospital receptionist if your surgeon is correct in removing your gall bladder. THE WRONG GUY.
    1
  270.  @harryvarner6652  YOU missed the point, and are being manipulated, why is the head of the DOT being questions about global warming other than for these HORSESHIT congressmen to ask "good for the TV cameras" questions to someone whos job is NOT to fix global warming? Let's ask the surgeon general? How about the head of the SEC? How about secatary of education? how about ask the bull because that's were this BULLSHIT comes from. Propaganda, manipulation, vote for me sucker!

  273. ​ @Ryan96se  "China is the leader in most harmful emissions globally." TRUE. So What? India, Brazil, Russia, United States, we all suck. "Unless they rapidly change, the rest of us can be as clean as can be but we'll not really make much of a dent." WRONG. To fix this globally we need to co2 capture as well. Fair? Nope, but we can make up for those fucking Chinee emitters. (but why do that? want Chiiiii-naaa to stop? just embargo this shit out of them) "There is way more carbon footprint making these vehicles and their batteries than a traditional ICE vehicle." WRONG. every denier forgets that every minute an EV runs is a minute that and ICE is NOT pumping out the CARBON, adds up for WAY LESS co2 by the time when the vehicle reaches its' useful life. (Don't trust the "true cost" of anything from Fox "News" please) "EVs require lots of help from harmful polluting heavy machinery running diesel along with the ships to import the necessary items into the country which releases huge amounts of harmful emissions and finally, the electricity and the additional load on the electric grid to charge these vehicles comes from coal and natural gas mostly in the US" All TRUE and SO WHAT? It ALL has to TRANSITION to non-carbon-releasing energy production. ALL OF IT. Stop focusing and berating ONE aspect of energy production that, admitted, is not perfect. This will take a multi-generational multi-solution based TRANSITION.

  278. That's right! Not a conservative would EVER do such things!
    1
  279. And so how does this work exactly? Because the DOT head doesn't have the info at his fingertips on questions HE IS NOT REPONSIBLE FOR (that's the responsibility of the EPA) this somehow changes the amount of CARBON we are placing into the atmosphere at a current rate of 120 million tons a day? a day. And somehow YOU know how much is enough? 50? 100? 1000? all ok?? You'll be long gone by the time we KNOW and your kids will be cursing you (have you bred) as they farm what little growable land remains down in the F'ing Antarctic.

  281. yah! that's right!! (ooooppsss, but that don't make sense, the carbon cycle and what it does to change the planet's temperature has been around for 150 years! Wow the demo deep states really does go deep!) BRAINWASHED.

  288. The uptick in the CARBON (not the TEMPERATURE) is what matters, not how hot it was yesterday in any place. What model are you quoting from? There will NOT be a "greening of the planet." Arid deserts are not green. Our food will be hard to grow and will not be able to support the 10 billion mouths on this world. THAT is the ultimate effect. DEATH. Scientists use FACTS and attempt to create hypothesis (MODELS) explaining and predicting those FACTS and future FACTS. Yours, Sincerely, Joe the Plumber who votes.

  291. NO ONE said "we are all supposed to be dead by now" please post source and quote when ANYONE said this. (Idiots of Fox News DON"T count by the way) the 95% to 97% "yearly carbon dioxide emissions each year" are part of the CYCLE, the baseline interchange into which HUMANITY is placing more and more PRODUCED carbon by OUR industrial processes. The NONSENSE of "easily compensate for what humans emit" is just HORSESHIT can be seen and is clearly evident in the Keeling Curve (EVER hear of that????)

Brags about grabbing a woman’s crotch. Goes bankrupt 6 times. Sued companies and individuals 3,200 times. Makes a sexual pass at his daughter. ("She's Hot" eeeeewwwww) Pays a porn star for sex. (Hello, Christians, that’s called “Adultery”) Attempts to pay for porn star silence in the amount of $130,000 via one of his lawyers who funneled Russian Oligarch money into the U.S. Replaces 92% of his "A Team" during his presidency. ("I only hire the best") LIAR, so the 92% WEREN'T "the best?" WTFAYTA? Boasts that "person woman man camera tv” is somehow meaningful.

  314. The "democrats" at least push for SOMETHING. Neither party is on the nuclear band-wagon unfortunately a political 3rd-rail, don't blame "democrats" for this. 200 helium-bed atomic reactors along our coastlines cracking seawater into hydrogen. ZERO EMMISIONS. But if we do this, what would Republican MAGA conspirators have to talk about? Done. Fin. That's a wrap. Stick a fork in the problem. SOLVED.

  315. Westerman's FIRST question, are we overstepping "the law" by measuring carbon emissions from transportation? WTF is possibly wrong with that? What in ANYONES conspiracy mind is wrong with measuring something? Except that the Oil & Gas industry doesn't want it reported? Westerman YOU are a paid SHILL for the Oil & Gas Lobby from which, in the 2nd qtr. of 2022 reported RECORD PROFITS by selling us a greenhouse gas emitter energy source.
