The Futility of Carbon Capture Technology

Carbon capture technology has become a buzzword in recent years, with many governments and corporations touting it as a solution to climate change. However, when we take a closer look at this supposed panacea, we realize that it's little more than a boondoggle designed to scrounge up taxpayer funding. The most striking example of this is the proposed carbon capture facility in Vicksburg, Mississippi. With a promised annual capture rate of 220,000 tons of CO2, the project would be equivalent to removing 27,000 gas-powered cars from the road. Yet, as one might expect, it's hardly enough to make a dent in the grand scheme of things.

In fact, it's downright laughable to consider this technology as a serious solution when we compare its impact to the sheer scale of pollution generated by our transportation systems. The United States has over 278 million registered vehicles, and each one emits a significant amount of CO2. To put it into perspective, if we were to remove only 27,000 cars from the road annually, that would be equivalent to taking a small fraction of the total emissions produced by all these vehicles. This is precisely why carbon capture technology can't be relied upon as a standalone solution to climate change.

But what's even more astonishing is the enormous cost associated with this supposedly innovative technology. The article mentions that one plant could cost hundreds of millions of dollars to retrofit, simply because it's deemed necessary to make it work. When you consider the astronomical amounts being thrown around by our politicians and corporations, it's clear that carbon capture is nothing more than a fancy way of saying "boondoggle." It's an exercise in bureaucratic waste and misallocated resources.

And then there's the curious case of New Jersey, the only state in the nation where people are forced to have someone pump their gas for them. According to research, 60% of the people living in this state still want to keep it that way. The politicians, however, seem more concerned with their own careers than listening to the public's demands. It's a classic case of government overreach and disregard for common sense.

Recent Developments in Aviation Safety

Meanwhile, Boeing planes have been making headlines for all the wrong reasons. A recent incident involved a Southwest Airlines flight from Denver to Houston that was forced to turn back due to an engine cing issue. The plane had to land prematurely in Denver, and a subsequent investigation is now underway. This is hardly the first time we've seen such incidents, and it's only a matter of time before another major disaster occurs.

It's high time for Boeing to come clean about its practices and explain why they're struggling so desperately with safety issues. One can't help but wonder if their priorities have shifted too far towards maximizing profits and minimizing costs, rather than prioritizing the well-being of passengers and crew members. The fact that former engineers have quit due to pressure to make planes "too fast and too cheap" only adds fuel to this fire.

A Call for Caution

As we continue down this path of innovation and technological advancement, it's essential to exercise caution and consider the unintended consequences of our actions. Whether it's carbon capture technology or Boeing aircraft safety, we need to be willing to question the motivations behind these projects and hold those responsible accountable.

In the end, it's not about being anti-progress; it's about ensuring that our pursuit of innovation doesn't come at the expense of common sense and human well-being. We mustn't forget that there are real people affected by the decisions made by governments and corporations. By being more critical and vigilant, we can work towards creating a safer, more sustainable future for all.

Car Repair Videos: A New Car Repair Video Reminder

Don't forget to ring that bell if you want to be reminded about our new car repair videos!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enrev up your engines well it's not just the United States it's having problems with electric vehicles theying the same thing in Canada here's an email from Jeremy McGrath and Ontario and he says I live in Canada Ford is closing Productions of EVS in Ontario this likely means layoffs why are governments getting on board with these companies Japanese hybrid vehicles are the way of the future I live in the province of land Toyota hybrids are prominent here in New Finland electric cars don't work so good when it's cold outside your government obviously gave money to Ford to build electric vehicles there in Oakville and now they're saying well maybe in the future right you're in a bigger pickle than us in the United States because it's colder in Canada than it is in most of the United States right electric vehicles and cold weather do not go together plus Canada is just as wide as the United States it's a wide open country you need stuff that can drive long distances not stupid electric cars that run out of power then there's no infrastructure for them you're stuck in the middle of nowhere with no electricity right it only makes sense that a hybrid where hey if you want a city car and you get a plug- in hybrid you can go 50 miles on electricity keep plugging it in go ahead right but then if you want to travel from Toronto to Vancouver you can just drive because the gasoline engine will get you hundreds and hundreds of miles you can just fill it up with with gas again not have to worry about plugging the stupid thing in it only makes sense well Tesla's continuing to lower the price of the model Y and a model three cuz nobody's buying them so they keep cutting the price down and of course what that doing that's knocking to resell value even further down as far as I'm concerned this is the beginning of people realizing the facade of Tesla being a good car company right I mean look at Herz they bought a100 tesas they're getting rid of every single one of them why because they cost too much money to make they break down quite often and people didn't want them most people went to rent a car they saw an electric car I don't want to touch that thing I'm on vacation do I have to worry about where to charge this stupid thing up you know the people that work at car rental places they aren't the sharpest tool in the box right so they don't know how to maintain them they're not taking care of them and they found out they're too expensive there's companies in Europe that had bought a bunch of Teslas for their car services like bringing people to the airport and back cuz some places I guess in the Netherlands they're only allowing electric vehicles to come to the airport to pick it up but uh some of these companies said we're getting rid of all our tessels they're crap and they're replacing with other electric cars because the tesl didn't hold up they broke and they cost a fortune to fix so looks like the beginning of the end of Tesla starting up you know he talked about he was going to make that cheap under $25,000 car course they they can't do it they can barely make these expensive ones work they make them cheaper and cheaper guess what it's something that the guy probably isn't able to do right he doesn't have the wherewithal to build a cheap car that's going to hold up because his expensive ones aren't imagine how much worse they'd be if you made them that cheap this what shows you what Crooks dealers are especially high-end ones like Lexus listen it's an email from one of you viewers he says I bought a 2011 Lexus rx450 from private owner last month I had a problem P A3 a so I took it to the Lexus dealer and they said that I need an inverter converter part and it's going to cost me $10,000 that's more than I paid for the car so I did a little research and found out that Toyota part g928 48112 will work I had it shipped on my mechanic he called Lexis and they said you can't put that part on the car it's not compatible with your car so I took to a Toyota dealer they said it would be compatible and installed it they wanted 10 grand at the Lexus dealer the guy bought the part for $1,400 had a Toyota dealer put it on and way it goes right I show said basically they're lying at them at the Lexus dealer because of course they want as much money as possible from any luxury car manufacturer that's just how they go right well but they lied to him and said this part isn't compatible and then the Toyota dealer put it on for him right I mean at least the Toyota dealer was honest and they said yeah that's the right part for your car and they put it not and the way he went yeah just show you can't even trust the dealers especially a high-end dealer like Lexus they're out to screw you over 10 Ways to Sunday oh you have a luxury luxus car so only we can work on it and no that's the wrong part and it was the right part you know you can't even trust those clowns and I would stay away from them unless you're going to buy a brand new one right I mean this thing had 118,000 Mi on when he bought it guy bought it new probably didn't have any problems at all those are cars you buy new and not used with high mileage well Big Oil is scaling up to try to do carbon capture to be carbon neutral by 2050 right you know what I say to that that'll be the next big scam carbon capture they already have with that carbon credits if you've watched me or done any research about how well they didn't cut the trees down in the the rainforest in South America so you can give carbon credits to The Big polluters that make polluting stuff right I mean and this carbon capture thing where they capture the CO2 that's going to be the next big Mo doggle you know well we'll store it in the ground L then it'll leak out of course right and it's so much that you would have to store it would make your head spin and of course they do on tested things like they're doing one down south in Bayou band and they claim as it says here they have the capacity to store more than 1 billion metric tons in underground geological structures of course nobody knows what's going to happen it's going to leak out of those things they going to fracture caused earthquakes blow water out of the ground from all this extra pressure that they're shoving the stuff in nobody knows what's actually going to and then to top it all off they got to capture the CO2 to begin with it's not that easy to capture the stuff right it'll be the next big boond doggle electric cars now'll be the boond doggle of carbon capture well they'll say they're doing one thing and nobody can really prove one way or the other whether it's actually working or not and they're doing one in Vicksburg okay and here's what they say the mill of Vicksburg was chosen to receive $88 million a taxpayer funding if successful it'll capture 220,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually the equivalent of 27,000 gas powered cars well there's a spit in the bucket there's 278 million cars registered in the United States presently you're taking the pollution that 27,000 of them put on you're just spit in the bucket you're not changing anything and that's the problem of all this stuff it's just another facade to get government funding for things that probably won't do much at all and of course they're all scrambling for the1 billion in funding for the stuff that the supposed inflation reduction Act is supposed to do right I mean more government boond doggles and course the money's unbelievable this one guy in an article explained it could cost hundreds of millions of dollars to retrofit one plant that's polluting a bunch right boggles the mind right the money they're going to spend on stuff just boggles the Mind well if you didn't know it there's one state in the United States where you can't pump your own gas and I just drove through it New Jersey so I made sure I had enough gas to make it through New Jersey when I was driving from Tennesseee to Rhode Island so I didn't have to stop you I don't trust people pumping gas in my own car well it looks like Jersey is going to change it anytime soon because of course we all know Jersey is an extremely corrupt state and one of the reasons that they're were the only ones left is because they started it for corruption they didn't want competition on gas prices they wanted to keep it as high as they could and these guys that were going to have discount change where you pump your own gas they made it illegal for them to go no surprise corruption in New Jersey oh who didn't see that one coming now it's the only state in the nation that forces people to have someone pumped the gas in their car right you think they joined the 21st century but I guess they're stuck in the 1900s when the mafiosa was running everything right maybe they still are I don't know but it's kind of ridiculous that they don't let people to pump their own gas right and the funny thing is now the politicians of course get involved cuz there a bunch of weenie butts whatever way the wind blows they been and it turns out according to a research article 60% of the people in New Jersey want to keep it as you can't pump your own gas so the politicians like red hot subject we might not get elected if we say let's have free pump for everybody they all worried about their own Shadows right so at New Jersey has the honor of being quite a few things but they are the only one that you can't pump your own gas in I mean just seems bizarre to me yet another Boeing plane as piece is coming off this time it's the engine cing and again it was a plane around Houston was going from Houston flying out and had to land in Denver too early because the cing was falling off the motor there it is with a piece missing there too it's just crazy this time it was a Southwest but it was still a Boeing 737800 makes you wonder about Boeing you know between Boeing itself and the upkeep maintenance at places like Southwest it really makes me think twice before I climb in one of those airplanes anytime soon seems every day something's going on with one of them now took off from Denver headed to Houston had to turn around come back 33 minutes later because the engine cing came loose and damaged the flaps on the right side of the airplane mean look at that some kind of Investigation into Boeing it seems to me that they got too cozy with the politicians and getting legislation made so they buy all these American planes and they spend less time actually building them correctly I've met people who used to be engineers at boing then they quit cuz they said hey the pressure to make them too fast and too cheap was too much for them and they went got another job so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos remember to ring that Bell\n"
