They aim to reduce the carbon cost of concrete production by 70%. It’s a baby step, but at least it is something!

The EPA says “In 2021, U.S. greenhouse gas emissions totaled 6,347.7 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents”.

This plant will claim to remove 500 tons per year. We are going to need a lot more stuff like this to make a difference.

I guess I just want to see something happen. Every journey begins with a single step.

We’ve made practically zero progress on issues like gun violence and climate change, with the biggest argument being that each individual change won’t completely solve the problem so we shouldn’t do it at all.

Why would they even try to introduce sweeping, life altering regulations when they can’t even get the Republicans to agree to the microscopic ones?
