You know, Kucinich is so repugnant to me I had to look up where is is from and who supports him. Cleveland area....His bio for the House says: Leadership: No

And that is the truth! No leadership, no nothing.

He and McDermott D-WA are two peas....

YUK!

I caught this story on PBS tonight. It appears he has made considerable progress in the 3 years since this was written. He has a working model in his lab using NaOH as the absorbent. CO2 levels at the intake were about 540ppm, due to the presence of humans in a closed environment. Outflow levels were about 150PPM. I didn't catch what you do with the resulting product, but it seems a really interesting idea.
