Re: Australian Scientists uncover key to boosting carbon capture- plantstones

Oddly enough today's SF Comical has a story about a similar technology, but designed to ramp up to industrial scale:

Constantz says he has invented a green cement that could eliminate the huge amounts of carbon dioxide spewed into the atmosphere by the manufacturers of the everyday cement used in concrete for buildings, roadways and bridges.

His vision of eliminating a large source of the world's greenhouse CO_2 has gained traction with both investors and environmentalists.

Already, venture capitalist Vinod Khosla is backing Constantz's company, the Calera Corp., which has a pilot factory in Moss Landing (Monterey County) churning out cement in small batches.
Gentlemen all, I do suspect this trash to be a party in this injury,

Hypography?
