he kind of laid out his platform at a conservative conference yesterday. great speech. but like I said he has 1.5 years to insure he wins over some of the liberal supporters and insure he has a solid lead. climate change whether people like it or not 1/2 of the population believes is a serious issue. he is saying the right thing but the hashtags and a tag lines are going to push the other 1/2 away. keep the talking points but put more emphasis on the things everyone is having issues with.
People also believe men are women. The whole world is fawked.

Pretty interesting video on the carbon capture pipelines.

Another hoax by Leftists to tax the population to death while handing out contract jobs that take years to complete. This is what "Tree's" and plants do ffs, grade 5 science. Smfh!

Also seems like the oil companies are enjoying the benefits of pumping CO2 down the holes to get every drop on our tax dollars. Always follow the money it seems like these days. Covid = money , Carbon = money. On and on.

RFK made a good point, what are the odds these pipelines end at the Bakken field and another known zone. This is Fracking on steroids ! The co2 will stay low and push the oil/gas up to the surface.
I used to do something called steam assisted drainage, drill two hole 90 degrees for a couple kilometres. One ontop of the other, about 10m apart. The top (injector) hole would get steam pumped into it to make the oil seep down into the second hole/production hole.

i don't have a problem with Co2 being put down the well bore, way better than fresh water in my opinion,

looking like there should be more drilling activity coming on stream?
If we pump all the CO2 into the ground what’s gonna feed the plantation above ground? Seems like this carbon capture is all BS to get more oil.

Let's look at it in a different light. Years ago, before we started using hydro carbons for energy. They claim that there was a natural balance of the CO2 in the atmosphere. There was a chart some where that showed the cycle of CO2 between summer and winter, Now they claim that the cycle continues but the numbers are trending upward. They also claim that it started trending upward at the start of us using hydro carbons as energy.
Lets say that this is correct. If we implement carbon capture and store it under ground then the trend should reverse itself. Not? And if it don't, then at least we can tell the leaf lickers to STFU.

I could be wrong.

I’m not a leaf licker but I sure do enjoy oxygen…

Well, photosynthesis stops in most plants when CO2 levels reach around 150ppm, with our atmosphere being around 400ppm, or 0.04%, we can probably plug a few more ppm in it for the plants

haven't you heard we have to much excess carbon, thus we must use it?

would you prefer they use fresh water? which is also being used now?
and if they were to use up all the water your plants would be dead a long time ago/ wonder how we would fair?

So
-Volcanos back in the day made millions of tons more co2 than we ever did and plant were pretty big on that co2
-“Stop refining ethanol altogether”. it’s like that impossible beef shxt, reinvent beef and make money….wtf? who cares what vegans want. And who cares what trudope/leaf lickers want with the environment( jack asses)
-plant a stupid amount of trees, like so many it makes peeps mad lol
-unlimited salt water out there for fracking. The planet is full of it and the cost to get it inland is the oil company’s prob not mine

oil companies are using salt water to remove oil from deposits in the ground! problem being it is hard on metal pipes and equipment. fresh water is also being used, as it is cheap and easy to get. problem as i understand is, once used in deep down hole formations it becomes unfit for consumption. not sure it can be cleaned up? there are other methods out there, likely deemed too expensive at this time! I would prefer they not use fresh water though, salt water sure, as with CO2. with new technologies, there will be other better solutions.
