The Biden administration is so convinced (or wants us to be) that “climate change” is an existential threat that it will finance carbon aspirators with tax money. No seriously:
The federal government is investing in machines that suck huge amounts of carbon dioxide from the air in hopes of reducing the damage caused by climate change. https://t.co/KFNBelokr1

Granholm, the fully qualified energy secretary, having solved all the other problems in the energy sector, will do so supervise the project:
The federal government is investing in machines that suck huge amounts of carbon dioxide from the air in hopes of reducing the damage caused by climate change.
The Department of Energy said Thursday it will release $ 3.5 billion to groups that develop direct air capture and other technologies that remove carbon dioxide, which when released into the atmosphere causes global warming.

“Last month we saw the highest levels of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere in history, underscoring the fact that our efforts to tackle climate change will have no consequences if we don’t act now to manage the greenhouse gas emissions they are currently putting. Public health and our risky environment are at risk, “Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said in a statement.
There is a different “solution”:

lol I’m not kidding.
I see that we have finally unlocked the “tree” technology in this Civ game https://t.co/VUfgY6cAKH

In ancient times, these were called “trees”. https://t.co/7XNAd0Me4J

Hold on, the government is about to invent TREES https://t.co/zQV6nLui0S

The fiction couldn’t be more obvious:
Gigantic industrially produced machines powered by fossil fuels to do the work of a tree.
If you don’t realize by now that this is all a scam, you are unreachable. https://t.co/KbdYYVkRje

Direct capture of carbon in the air is the EXACT definition of a perpetual motion machine.
Feed electricity to a car from a carbon-based energy grid in an attempt to inefficiently extract carbon from the air. Beyond stupidity without massive nuclear construction.

You can’t make up these things, sadly the Biden administration candies.
Hopefully they don’t carry all these machines until eleven and end up killing trees, but considering this administration’s disastrous track record over everything else, it wouldn’t be surprising.
$ 3,500,000,000.00 for what trees do
And they “hope” it works. Amazing

Can these machines be attached to the tails of private jets owned by wealthy climate change alarmist hypocrites?
How many carbon emissions will it take to produce these things? What will feed them? How exactly is 0.07% of car emissions on US roads supposed to affect anything?
Some people like to be scammed.

Why not plan other trees? The answer is obvious:
Why not plant more trees? Oh I know. No possibility of grafting.

Of course, there will be little consideration of how the money is actually spent.

The Biden administration has helped to erase the line between satire and reality.
