Note: “6 weeks” counts from last-period-date, so it means as little as two weeks since conception, which is before many women realize they are pregnant
For comparison, the US has ~73GW of total utility-scale solar installed. This single factory is going to produce about enough panels to be 3/4 of the total US installed base each year.
I think this makes it really clear how most of the carbon capture proposals are aimed at influencing public opinion towards allowing ongoing extraction and burning, rather than actually doing much of anything.
Owned and run Americans who were engaged in the slave trade:
Seizing the opportunity, American merchants based in Rio de Janeiro sold U.S.-made vessels to slavers sailing for Africa. The proliferation of the American ship and flag — used by slavers of all nationalities — in the illicit commerce soon provoked alarm among diplomats.
“Our flag is preferred over any other,” complained Gorham Parks, the U.S. consul in Rio de Janeiro, in an 1848 letter.
“State transportation agencies are the recipients of the money,” he said. “Nearly all of them had no experience deploying electric vehicle charging stations before this law was enacted.”
