Vice President Biden Announces CO2 Recycling Research Funding

Vice President Biden Announces Recovery Act Funding for 37 Transformational Energy Research Projects

A little more than two years ago, Vice President Joe Biden indirectly confirmed that Carbon Dioxide, as it arises in only a very small way, relative to natural sources of emission such as volcanoes, from our essential use of Coal in the generation of truly economical electric power, is a valuable raw material resource.

As we explain, following brief introductory excerpts from the above link to:

"Vice President Biden Announces Recovery Act Funding for 37 Transformational Energy Research Projects

Thursday, April 29, 2010

Washington, DC – At a Recovery Act Cabinet Meeting today, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of Energy Steven Chu announced that the U.S. Department of Energy is awarding $106 million in funding for 37 ambitious research projects that could fundamentally change the way the country uses and produces energy. Funded through DOE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), the $106 million is awarded to projects that could produce advanced biofuels more efficiently from renewable electricity instead of sunlight ... and remove the carbon pollution from coal-fired power plants in a more cost-effective way.

Unfortunately, concerning the headline we selected for this dispatch, a large group of knowledgeable and accomplished scientists, assembled by our United States Department of Energy to assess the technologies and economies of indirectly, through gasification, converting our abundant domestic Coal into a full range of hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals, said, all the way back in 1987, that such Coal conversion technology was so advanced and so effective, and the economic reasons for doing it were so compelling, that it would become "the wave of the future", sweeping us all up in a tsunami of domestic hydrocarbon self-sufficiency by, they opined, 2010.

It's now 2012. Are your feet even wet? Ours neither.

And, it kind of makes you wonder why.
