Something we want to talk about and that we want you to return to read and learn from as we have about whether it is we face now. And we do in this country face an extraordinary structure that has done the things that were so upsetting. One example referred to by all of us, democracy in those days was a word that was akin to a chaotic, disorganized, messy, negative, negative, negative. We lived in a bizarre reversal. Now it is the holy of holies. We celebrated democracy the way we celebrate cowboys in the old days. A complete fantasy, a makeup so that we can indulge this desire as an economist i keep saying this and i know some of you have heard it from me before. We go to work. We spend five out of seven days a week and when we go to work we enter a place in a capitalist society that is the absolute opposite of democracy. A tiny group of people, major shareholders and boards of directors make all the decisions thousands of employees not to speak of the communities where they work have

Off. And that will cost me money. I know that from a power plant scrubber. There it costs me money. So but the problem now is the same. I have some sorbent. My absorbent had to be a little bit more stronger and it turns the out that scales rhythmically in the dilution for every factor two in dilution i need to pay an extra amount of energy. If you work it out, we pay about 1 1 2 to 2 times depending on how i do the accounting in energy than the flue gas scrubber must pay in the ideal solution. We cost a little more but not 100 times. We are a little more expensive by not linearly more expensive. Here you can see the energies. So this is how much energy we need for air, this is how much we would need for co2 from a power plant and what you see here, if the eveningeers can see this, this is rp log t. Let me put this out with a fancy formula so you know zca we act do math on occasion. What thisn basically says, the dynamics works. And by now nobody disagrees with this any more. The ther
Think just talking about air capture doesnt really explain why one would want to do it and how it fits into the bigger picture. To begin with, i think im talking here to the converted. I would like to point out that we really do need energy and we cannot solve our climate issues and other pollution issues which come from having energy by not having energy. We do need it for a variety of reasons. I would say we have planned it if we need food, we need fertilize for that, we need energy. We couldnt sustain the population we have without the process which affects nitrogen. If you want water there are unlimited supplies in the ocean if we could figure out how to desalinate and that takes energy and if you extract minerals from the ground, you again need energy. You came today mine coupled with a fraction of a unit because you have the energy to do so. In 1980 they were running out but they have 20 cup. So we can do better by throwing more energy at the problem pb. If you want to clean up a
