After reading you post, I put this on FB: "The solution to the energy problem is obvious. We need to all go to bed at sundown, when solar power ceases. Unless there's a good stiff wind; then we can stay up a little later."
Since the percentage of CO2 in air is only about 0.04%, you must have to vacuum an awful lot of air to get much CO2. I wonder how much energy the giant 'vacuum' machinery uses? I also wonder, if this reduction of CO2 is actually effective, how the plant life, which needs CO2 like we need oxygen, will fare? (There are always unintended consequences) And will the subsidies have to go on forever? - increasing debt and taxes...

Unfortunately, you are correct, Al. Everything about wind and solar power is wrong. Thanks for the comment. Ed
That’s exactly right!

Al, CO2 has become an obsession, unfortunately. I am working on an article about carbon capture and will publish it soon. Ed
I’d be interested to see it.
