1. "Carbon capture" is a mistake. It simply pumps the carbon into our aquifer rather than in the air.

Decatur sits right on top of America's biggest fresh groundwater source. This is the water that allows our soil to be fertile and our crops to grow. Pumping carbon into it is insane, IMO.

AMD makes their products from crops grown here, and they make a ton of money from it. I think they are killing the goose that lays their golden eggs. Polluted groundwater coupled with global climate change will, over time, damage the Midwest's crop producing capacity.
