Skymining

A company called Skyonic has come up with the Skymine system. This novel process takes carbon dioxide out of industrial smokestacks and uses waste heat from factories to make ordinary pure baking soda. A pilot version has already been installed at the Big Brown Steam Electric Station in Fairfield, Texas (my grandpa worked there for years, by the way). If the Skymine system gains popularity, it could help to curb global warming by reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
