Okay, now let me get this straight. We are funding a program known as the “Carbon Capture And Storage Simulation Initiative” with up to $40 million dollars of much needed, cold hard cash, from you and I dear friends, I might add, so that we can fight global warming (which has been proven to be bogus). The lovely Secretary of Energy Steven Chu believes that
“By harnessing the power of science and technology, we can reduce carbon emissions from industrial sources. This investment is part of our commitment to advancing carbon capture and storage technologies to the point where widespread, affordable deployment can begin in 8 to 10 years. This partnership will not only help fight climate change, it will create new jobs and position the United States as a leader in carbon capture and storage technologies for years to come.”
What’s most ironic about this is that $20 million received through the ARRA robbery is for a simulation program, not the actual capturing of carbon. The program will use “advanced modeling and simulation” to “develop science-based methods aimed at lowering the cost of carbon capture while reducing risks associated with its storage.” I’ve got one for these nerds…how ’bout I send them some virtual money to go with their virtual fraud instead of the real deal. I know I’d breathe easier!
