Cali company begins pumping CO2 deep underground--like magic!

Last May, in a totally parched desert in Kern County, California, a company called "California Resources Corporation" opened the state’s first "carbon capture and storage facility."

It's called "TerraVault 1," and is touted to pump millions of tons of deadly carbon dioxide gas deep underground, removing it from the atmosphere forever.  The company says it could be just the first of many such facilities they plan to open in the state.

See, for the past 40 years, brilliant, totally honest scientists have warned that carbon dioxide is gonna kill all life on Earth, by fatally warming the planet.  Globull Warming.

Wait, sorry:  Climate Change.  Ahh.

An' what better place to start saving the Earth than California, under the leadership of duh faaabulous Democrat future prezzy Gavin Newsom, eh?

So we sent our top reporter to Kern County to see how they're saving the planet.  It's Democrat leadership at it's best!

He found a line of about 20 railroad tank-cars marked "CO2" lined up to enter a large building.  Inside was a giant diesel engine, about the size of the engine in a container-ship.  It was growling--or purring, depending on your viewpoint--at idle, causing the entire concrete floor to vibrate.

One end of the giant engine was connected to a huge pump.  As each tank car pulled up, workers would hook up a foot-thick hose to the tank car, open a couple of valves and press some buttons.  The huge engine would speed up, and the workers would watch dials on a panel.

After a few minutes, the hose was removed and the line of tank cars advanced.

We asked what was happening, but none of the workers spoke English.  A company rep told us the pump had just pumped 100 tons of carbon dioxide down an injection well, trapping it over a mile underground, forever.    

We were amazed that saving the planet from the horror of Global Warming seemed so quick and easy.  When we asked how much it cost per ton, the rep said the company had a contract with the state of California for $20 per ton.  

We quickly did the math and realized the company had just made $2,000 in 15 minutes.  Looking at the 20 or so railcars waiting to be unloaded, and the four foreign workers, it seemed that the company was making $40,000 in just 5 hours.

We asked where the tank cars of CO2 came from.  He said another company was using a secret, proprietary process to strip the deadly poison out of the air.  He said this was done in California but he didn't know where.  He said the state was paying that company $20 a ton to do that, but at no cost to California voters because it was funded by a grant from Biden's EPA.  He added that with Trump as president it was likely this funding would soon end, but that senate Democrats planned to put that grant under the Defense Funding Act.

Before leaving we watched one more tank car being unloaded.  Except for the rumble of the huge engine it was so quiet!  The rep let us touch the big red pipe that disappeared into the concrete slab from the pump's outlet, and we could barely feel any vibration at all as another 100 tons of deadly CO2 was safely, quietly pumped deep underground.  

It was almost like magic.

Clearly we need to elect Newsom president, cuz he knows how to save the Earth from Globull Warming!  He feels so strongly about this that his wife is on the board of directors of the company!

Now, what part of the above is satire?
