Ehh, the devil is in the details. Most DAC techniques requires more energy to capture the CO2 then the energy used to produce the CO2. This particular site might not have that issue, the article doesn't say, but they are pumping the CO2 underground to be stored. Which sounds a lot like phracking... (I doubt they are pumping the CO2 into the rocks as a gas)

Democrats are allergic to populis movements. So if they did do a counter rally, it would largely remind people why they are not that popular. Instead they opt to give the Republicans rope to hang themselves, only problem is we have given so much rope it is touching the ground.

They aren't paying 100k for some fresh grad they need to train. They will pay them to train their AI models at the lowest possible price point though.

Wait, you mean the guy who didn't peacefully leave office the last time and said he was going to be a dictator on day 1? Nah, I'm sure history won't repeat itself
