When the team got its start at the University of Washington, they were producing about 50 kA (a bolt of lightning, by comparison, is about 30 kA)."
Climate tech firm to launch scaled-up plant sucking CO2 from air
"The new 'Mammoth' plant will contain around 80 large blocks of fans and filters that suck in air and extract its CO2, which Icelandic carbon storage firm Carbfix then mixes with water and injects underground where a chemical reaction turns it to rock. The process will be powered by a nearby geothermal energy plant."
Taxing Corporations to Address Climate Change is More Popular in Theory than Practice
