Capturing Carbon With Garbage Heaps

davide marney writes "In a Washington Post opinion piece, Hugh Price argues that using a decidedly low-tech solution to sequestering excess carbon — making piles of agricultural waste — is better than many 'green' solutions already in practice. Sometimes the easy answer is the right answer. After all, it's how coal forms, and we know that works pretty well."

    Not good enough. You've suggested that people stop producing so many fucking people, therefore you are evil. Duy.

    You're an idiot.

    Seriously.

    The whole idea of carbon credits and a market for trading various pollution credits is a dumb idea dreamed up by free market sycophants. Sadly some environmentalists in a desire to try and reach out to morons who whine about gov't regulation decided to go with the free market "solution." Once environmentalists got Democrats to go along with the stupid idea that Republicans/conservatives came up with, the Republicans/conservatives immediately turned on the idea and make this utterly predictable complaint.
