  • SpaceDreamer, on 08/27/2008, -0/+6There's even a rumour about a new bio tech that converts CO2 into oxygen and food!
    Sounds a bit too good to be true though.
  • deliciousbass, on 08/27/2008, -1/+6thats pretty cool
  • arielh85, on 08/27/2008, -0/+3the great thing about this, though, is that it can take carbon already stored underground and use it to create calcium carbonate.
  • madrigaelic, on 08/27/2008, -1/+3This technology/company is kind of bunk. Very little velocity for this type of technology to really solve the problem. Sure, they can make CO2 into chock at high temperature and pressure. How do you get high temperature and pressure? Using energy that will by-and-large create CO2. There are much better CO2 sequestration ideas than this one.
  • jodimcmullen, on 08/27/2008, -0/+2The best idea is to reduce the amount of smoke being put into the air, be it through wind or solar. Pretty soon they'll decide to make it a food additive and convince us it's good for us.
  • ryan83189, on 08/28/2008, -0/+2Dirt cheap too!
  • eKstreme, on 08/28/2008, -0/+1I heard it's completely green as it uses the sun.
  • nerddtvg, on 08/28/2008, -0/+1While I don't think that this is going to solve our CO2 problems, it's a step in the right direction. If people understand that there is profit in being environmentally friendly, more and more businesses follow in suit. Years ago, few people would have understood what it meant to be turning "green," but now it's the new, hip thing that everyone wants.
  • BigManOnCampus, on 08/27/2008, -0/+1Is it an agricultural company? I'm asking because they convert CO2 and sunlight into all sorts of goodness.
  • inactive, on 08/28/2008, -2/+1There goes all my carbon credits. It seems that the Goracle and his Church of Global Warming & Cow Flatulence will have to find another way to make money.
  • hiPpymIck, on 08/27/2008, -2/+1they use it here..
