70,000 tons "to date" is a heck of a lot less than 37 billion tons annually. It would take over 500,000 identical facilities with no environmental impact to reach net zero.

I will give you money to research something. If the results are favorable to me, I will be able to give you more money to continue researching the thing. If they are not favorable to me, you will be required to find new sources of funding.

They are not interested in facts and logic, they are interested in wearing you down until you give up and/or feel worse about yourself. They are not arguing in good faith, and they are not worth your time or mental effort.

My towns local realtor group (there's only like three total) bought a dying motel and converted the rooms into the absolute shittiest "studio apartments" with like a hot plate and a mini fridge.

If you look at things closely they look different than they do far away.

Very insightful.

In my little rural town there were so many people who lost their license that they had to go and privatize all the roads so people could drive their ATVs to the liquor store and drop their kids off at school.
