Here's Forbes' take: "In 2019, net energy imports turned negative, meaning the U.S. had become energy independent. So, while it is technically correct to say that the U.S. became energy independent while President Trump was in office, the reason was the shale boom that had begun in earnest in 2005." https://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier/2023/05/02/us-energy-independence-soars-to-highest-levels-in-over-70-years/

Read an article yesterday I think in the Science Mag, but they are studying the lack of Whale Poo being deposited in the ocean. Since the Idustrial Revolution, there are 4.5mil fewer whales and the typical whale desposited on average a 55gal drum of poo daily. The nutrients from this fed the oceans phytoplankton that reduces the CO2 many times more than the worlds forests. They referenced 1 whale would produce enough nutrients to feed enough phytoplankton to equal many Oak trees.

So of course the organization is dumping a poo concoction to see if it can cause phyto blooms and the first tests have been promising. I think they are doing this in a smaller controlled area of the Tasman Sea.

This made me wonder if we could use the surplus manure production from pig and cow farms and reduce the methane produced from methane off-gassing.

I'm definitely not a tree-hugger but I do have an Enviro degree and I try to stay aware.

You people never cease to amaze me. Gretta Dumberg must be your folk hero, the Joan of Arc of the anarchist who want life to end as we know it.

You wail about how our weather is the most sever ever to be seen and experienced by mankind. You say the storms are much more severe by how much damage they cause. Ok step back and take a deep breath if you dare. Storms cause more damage now because there is a #ellava lot more stuff now to be damaged than in the past. What sane person would invest millions in a home twenty feet from the ocean?

I have researched every piece of data that I could concerning weather patterns. Guess what weather changes, it never has been a constant but a variable. This is caused primarily by sun cycles and gool ole terra firma wobbling on its axis. Now something else noteworthy is that all of the little green bushes, trees, grasses and shrubs etc. love carbon dioxide (CO2).Through this little process called photosynthesis they somehow by accident I am sure produce oxygen (O2). Shezam guess who needs oxygen we do and a lot of other creatures.

Oh, and this idea of putting pig and cow poo in the ocean is not needed. Enough raw sewage flows into the oceans from India, China, Africa and a lot of other S### hole countries to replace every whale that has ever lived.
