Electricity from biomass with carbon capture could make western U.S. carbon-negative
"Generating electricity from biomass, such as urban waste and sustainably-sourced forest and crop residues, is one strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, because it is carbon-neutral: it produces as much carbon as the plants suck out of the atmosphere."
Not All Republicans Think Alike About Global Warming
