Washington can’t. But we’re working on it.

There’s also a lot of resentment towards the government due to how the impact of spotted owl protection affected the logging industry there. Those sentiments tend to push people to the right.

We have something called “sun breaks” that I have heard are unique to Washington. Strangely, they tend to impact traffic. It will be gray and crappy, you’ll be driving, and then BAM! You get hit directly in the eyeball and you can’t see for a few seconds.

I don’t know anything about this particular company, but I did hear about this idea about 10 years ago as a civil engineering student. The idea was meant for concrete companies and involved redirecting the exhaust through this system, not just sucking random air with a vacuum. The concept as it was explained to me was to filter the exhaust through brine. CO2 combines with calcium in the brine to create calcium bicarbonate. I think, that was 10 years ago.
