CO2 LIES AND OBSFUCATIONS

 

CO2 reduction in the atmosphere is the primary target policy of the Leftists  and Liberals, who, using phony moralistic pleas and outright transparent lies, try to limit and destroy Capitalism, America, its Constitution, representative democratic institutions, and its basic laws, free trade, liberty, freedom of personal and economic action, ownership of private property, and individual rights.

 

They want to cancel free economic action of business and industry by shutting in oil wells, coal mines, and all fossil fuels. They want to kill American free enterprise and force industry and individuals to bow to their controls, slavery and inaction.

 

They want to replace the energy produced by the burning of fossil fuels with hydro-dynamic, wind, tides, infra-red light from space, and suspiciously,  with nuclear energy, which many Liberals sometimes think is as bad as fossil fuels, They don't have much, if anything, to say about the Communist's steadfast reliance upon slave produced energy.

 

Not to discuss the energy efficiencies of all types of energy production and consumption, we may limit this writing to the merits of energy production using fossil fuels, the reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere, and the several by-products of the use of CO2 in the manufacture of useful products.

 

Carbon Dioxide, or CO2, is a by-product of the burning of Carbon in an Oxygen environment, that is, commonly, in air. The Carbon is the main element in wood, coal, and petroleum, and that is oxidized by the addition of Oxygen.

 

What the politicians fail to realize is that the compound CO2 is highly useful in industry; and uncountable highly profitable products may be made from it.

 

Fossil fuel burning electricity-generating factories use large amounts of fuels containing Carbon, and the by-product of the burning is the exhaust or smoke produced, and that contains CO2, The CO2 gas is a rich resource of potential material for the manufacture of useful products.

 

The Liberal politicians want to primarily shut down liberty and industry; and their goal is not to capture CO2 for useful and profitable purposes; the want to gain the power to control human beings, and not to enhance the lives of people.

 

These Liberal power seekers shut down the energy producers, rather than to allow them to produce valuable forms of Carbon-based energy and products.     

 

Not to state that the Liberals want the public to have less electricity, that is a writing for another day, this writing is more limited to the failure, or intention, of the politicians to deprive the public of the valuable resource. They lie to the public to deprive the public of the valuable wealth and liberty of the pulbic.

 

Insofar as the value of CO2, and the acknowledgment of the possible beneficial consequences of the use of the material, and the restoration of liberty to the public, the politicians are silent. The Liberals and politicians have hoodwinked the public.

 

American inventors have patented several methods for the capture and use of CO2 for useful purposes. The main invention that we may discuss is the capture of CO2 from the exhaust from the burning of fossil fuels, for example; and then the bottling of the CO2 for transport to and use by industry. The CO2 is the exact same stuff that can be purchased at the grocery store in the form of bubbly carbonated soft drinks and carbonated water.

 

The CO2 gas at a manufacturing company is then compressed into a liquid and kept in a pressure vessel. The gas, when it is compressed into a state that is denser than the gas and not quite as dense as a liquid, or even possibly a solid, as in CO2 dry ice or CO2 snow. is called super-critical CO2. 

 

A pressure vessel, called an autoclave, large or small depending on the scale of the manufacturing set up, may contain air or water that are not of use, and the unused substances are removed, or pumped out, with a vacuum pump. The pressure vessel is then empty resulting in a partial vacuum, that at that stage of the manufacture of a product that uses CO2.

 

What products may be made using the super-critical CO2 process? The autoclave is used, for example, to manufacture high strength cast concrete products, and the castings are made nearby by casting concrete in molds. Admixtures of fly ash are captured from the exhaust chimneys that are also the source of the CO2 gas, are in the form of dust; and the fly ash is not released into the atmosphere or as smoke. The ash when mixed into the concrete to become chemically combined with the cement basic ingredient of the concrete is an excellent reinforcement for the concrete. The cast articles may be items of furniture or they be cast concrete beams used to build skyscrapers or highway bridges. While the mixed concrete is curing the cast items are paced into the autoclave that is pumped out to form a high vacuum, and sealed closed. The main items in the autoclave are the castings becoming solid and no surrounding gas. The cast items at that stage have all the ordinary strength and properties of regular concrete, of whatever composition that has been created. Plastics and other formed items may also be placed in the autoclave for processing using CO2. For now we may discuss just concrete.

 

The concrete articles in the autoclave are still wet with absorbed water that is chemically combined with the cement during the casting - to make concrete. The autoclave vessel that is often a large metal tank has a pipe leading into it from the pressure storage vessels for the super-critical CO2, and of course there is a complement of pipes, valves, and controls. When a valve from the CO2 storage tank is opened the super-critical CO2 semi-gaseous semi-liquid material  under pressure flows into the auto-clave partial vacuum environment. The cast concrete articles in their partial vacuum are then surrounded by the pressurized super-critical CO2 material that fills the partial vacuum in the autoclave tank. The CO2 is absorbed into the concrete, and which combines chemically with the concrete making a very high strength form of concrete that has many of the properties of metals. The resulting concrete is stronger than metals.

 

In this process all the CO2 and fly ash from the fossil fuel electricity generation process have become an integral part of the cast articles. None of the by product of the electricity generation is released into the atmosphere . Electricity is also generated, And the original CO2 and ash from the burning process may be sold.

 

The original gaseous CO2 and the fly ash from the burning process involved in generating the electricity are then not treated as a waste product and pumped underground to make them disappear as some politicians would have it. CO2 pumped underground doesn't disappear; it emerges to the surface of the Earth from volcanoes that have been the main source of CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere since pre-history.

 

Our politicians and Liberals have prevented our American industries from profiting from the availability of super-critical CO2 materials and have deprived the public from the benefits of the consequential manufacture of useful products. We, our public and free-enterprise manufacturers and builders, are the losers in that we are being forced by the hoodwinking Liberal politicians.

 

The technology is out there in industry and libraries, the U.S. Patents have been published.

 

After the Liberals restrict CO2 production the beneficiaries may be the Communist and tyrannical countries, Kantians, and governmental systematic pragmatists, who will gain superior products and cleaner air, Thanks to our Liberal politicians Tyranny wins and America loses.

 

The Libertarian free-traders will no doubt help to transmit super-critical CO2 technology to the tyrannies.

 

And what about the Liberals who want to reduce CO2 emissions from the transportation industry? They hope to do that in part, by the forced reduction in the use of fracking technology, Fracking crumbles the sub-terranian rocks and makes possible the increased flows of petroleum gasses.  Who in the world will benefit by the fracking technology and the production and use of low cost petrochemicals and super-critical CO2 petrochemical manufacturing technologies. The tyrannies.

 

Our Liberals, Pragmatists, give-away politicians, systematic regulators and Libertarian free-traders will have shot the American public in our own economic foot.

 

 The Liberals in the USA will have reduced local amounts of CO2 and reduced the amounts of electricity produced by USA sources. World-wide production of CO2 will, however, be increased. The other countries in the world who use fracking technology will produce prodigious amounts of petroleum. And large amounts of CO2; that is, unless they use Super-critical CO2 - concrete [or plastic] manufacturing processes.

 

Lets keep our market and technology-controlling tyranny back-patting pseudo-free enterprising politicians out of it.

 

Let us have Super-critical CO2 in a free marketplace of ideas, rights, and technology.

CO2 CONCRETE

Our polititians still fail to heed the facts about their lies concerning CO2 sequestration and their intentions to diminish industry and liberty.

Even the so-called business types, Republicans, free-traders, and the U.S Congress continue to keep a lid on the widely-known benefits and discoveries of CO2.

Following may be the first article in the popular press on the subject of CO2 Concrete.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/bendable-concrete-other-co2-infused-175803665.html 

See the illustrations and diagrams in the piece.

The patents and related trade articles published in recent decades have said their piece. There will be more, for there is a gold mine in the sky. 

Our future world will have a huge percentage of CO2 Concrete products. The amount of CO2 taken from the atmosphere in future years could be enormous; so much that if they took 10% of the CO2 from the atmoshere [presumably so they could punish capitalists, free-enterprisers, and citizens of liberty]  the amount taken would make it difficult for plants to live on Earth.

The polititians fail to disclose the link between CO2 and plants. Plants use CO2 as the food that causes the structures of the plants to exist. Remove the plants, such that the Brazilian deforesters are doing, and there will be more CO2 in the atmosphere.

By the use of CO2 Concrete there will be less CO2 in the atmosphere and much more manufacturing of high strength products. By the practical use of CO2 in manufacturing there will be less smog, smoke, and ash in the air.

Notice that the U.S. Politicians have continued to blame free enterprise and capitalism, and they have not dealt with the beneficial aspects of the use of CO2. These politicians thrive on the hatred of the good; that is their motive.

They are more interested in the evil of the hatred they practice than in freely permitting businesses to create CO2-based products and a cleaner atmosphere.

CO2 use should be a factor in the platform of the future Republican Party.  

May algae grow on the multiple pens of the liberal polititians and swampy kickbackers.        RALPH HERTLE

Your type was quite small so I had to cut, paste, and enlarge it Ralph.

I think it was on “Sixty Minutes” last night when Bill Gates mentioned putting CO2 into concrete and that was the first time I heard of the process. No one needs to be a fanatic about “man-made” global warming or cooling to be against pollution. I remember seeing a series of drawings and photos about the factory smoke in London back several generations and it was worse than China today.

There are several “real but bad” things civilization produces and one of the major ones is the heat island effect of cities (except in the winter) and car exhaust near freeways.
