Just "pulling CO2" from air does not mean there won't be other GHG emissions at various elevations.
Additionally, how much energy does it take to do this? Did we get this energy from solar panel or wind turbine excess energy, where we turn on the devices only when the price of energy craters due to oversupply, or is this intended to run 24/7/365? Or do they (as many processes do) use electricity generated from fossil fuels to run the machines?
Is that energy shipped long distances, with power loss, or are we literally storing this in the exact same place we're running the machines?
In most energy and emissions scenarios, we find the correct answer to a problem is not "store CO2", but instead is "build more renewable energy faster" and use the excess energy to manufacture more renewable energy generation, distribution, and energy storage. Exceptions tend to be on islands and in places disconnected from energy grids. In planning, we can easily achieve quantities of scale in solar and wind to run at 120 percent power supply, since the curves of both sources tend to complement in a way that actually fits consumer, commercial, and industrial power usage.
It's like the areas of China and parts of the US where they seed clouds, but then have negative consequences from altering the weather patterns, which creates unintended negative externalities that destroy crops, create more deserts, or damage hydro facilities. Sometimes the solution is more expensive than other available methods.
Who's "we?" You didn't vote in the Canadian election.
How do you know? I am a dual citizen. And a graduate of both a Canadian high school and a Canadian university, as well as a former Canadian Army Sergeant.
I don't know, I did my time under Reagan, and we were all about the economic crushing of Russia. It worked pretty darned well, too. We still have them running around in circles thinking we have death rays in the sky, the suckers.
As I stated, they did SF series back in the 1950s where they had "advanced EM drives" with no propellant, and they were set in 2040 and 2050. Which makes the timeline correct.
Um, actually we developed EM drives back in the 1950s. I know they don't teach real science history in backwards areas, but they even had entire SF series published about it in Germany and the UK, not just in the USA.
While "world leaders" are focused on Trudeau's hair and nice sounding platitudes of diversity and at the same time apoplectic at whatever Trump's latest tweet is, he's running circles around us in advancing their interests. I'd trade Trudeau for Trump any day of the week, perhaps it's because I don't case so much for his personal views or the daily rage of mainstream media misinterpreting his comments.
Um, dude, Trudeau tricked Trump into signing a NAFTA plus TPP deal with some TPIP thrown in.
It's called "winning". Yes, I know, Orange Jesus has you believing Losing Badly is "winning", but in Canada, winning is "winning".
Seriously, a low impact solar web design would use SD storage with a more efficient router and a decent 2018 blade server that together would use about 1/20th the energy, backed with zinc air batteries, and modern solar panels that can handle clouds. It would also be a heck of a lot cheaper. Guy probably doesn't even have fail over circuitry on his solar electricity, which is like all we ever talk about since 2012. I can hook him up with a friend in Trail BC who can do it for him if he doesn't know how to.
Trust me, I've been turning in Russian bot nets for years, and they are actually more prevalent on Canadian social media than on American social media.
Best practice is convert to renewables faster, and crush them by destroying their export markets.
The websites and PDF are more easily changed when one of the users realize that our product has major problems when held upside down in a closet during a full moon.
Because who doesn't like a pseudoscience theory that can quantify the compression ratio of angels dancing on the head of a tulip as it accelerates towards light speed?
Look, if you just used Clean Energy Institute (CEI) specs, you'd have a fully powered green energy website, entirely powered by solar, and excess solar energy stored either in modern batteries (70-80 pct) or compressed air storage (80-90 pct).
No reason for it to go offline during a cloudy day. Heck, the CEI is literally located in a fairly cloudy and rainy city, Seattle, and we get 70-80 percent energy from our solar arrays on cloudy/rainy days, so you must be doing something wrong.
There are published stats on how people have recovered by decile from the last crash, and only those of us in the top 10 percent of the US have actually increased our wealth, all the rest of you are still broke.

After all, we make them. You guys just party a lot.

No free ride for you!
Tough cookies, Comrade!

According to other news articles, there are 22 US states with some laws protecting Net Neutrality.
California is just one.
But we are made of sterner stuff than that.

Interesting arguments.

No, that was America.

Was there a poll or something?
Yeah, it was an election where we sent Harper off to live with the Saudis.

Why do hate those of us who made S-100 bus computers in the 70s so?

Since about 2008. Stats are per a course textbook from 2016.

Talk about being behind the curve, Amazon.
The west coast is going to collapse after they pay their real federal tax bill in april for the first time in decades...
State taxes are no longer deductable from your fed bill. Enjoy the exodus.
Um, a number of our states don't have income taxes, sunshine.
The only places really affected are the Northeast.
Only someone from back East would think WA OR CA were the West Coast.
Dude, we are making them.
Maybe you fail to realize that the entire West Coast is going to 100-120 percent Renewables. And, yes, we're using those batteries.
Wake me when you guys stop whining and start doing. We're most of North America's economy.
