A team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed a way to make cement without heating, potentially eliminating the carbon produced in the process.
Think about it. The manufacture of cement amounts to about 8 per cent of our total contribution of CO2 to the atmosphere.( without carbon to burn the needed furnaces don’t get to the required 1500 degrees Fahrenheit )
MIT research demonstrates how best to fight Climate Change. Adaptation.
Of course this story has yet to attract any media attention.

They have also developed concrete that actually eats pollution. Science is astounding, isn't it? Next thing they will come up with is electric cars!....wait...
But who is going to get the concrete manufacturers to adopt a system they aren't used to and makes the concrete more expensive to produce, particularly when you consider the huge cost of fitting out the plants with entirely new equipment?
How is that any easier than, say, getting a coal plant to use scrubbers?
LOL
I manufacture cement.
The choice is
The elimination of the industry as proposed by the left.
Or.
A new technology?
Guess.
LOL. Yes, "the left" is proposing eliminating the industry.
On any of these issues, energy production, transportation, oil extraction etc, there are cleaner and CO2 reduced options. When "the Left" proposes those methods be mandated Conservatives block them. See my example re: scrubbers, regulations which the Trump Administration has gutted.
So the question of "how best to fight Climate Change" is not a question of innovation. Its a question of how you get those innovations to be adopted when "the Right" can't even compromise on their washing machines.
