We are encouraged to see that the #TTC is considering replicating the King St project on busy bus and streetcar lanes. Bold, ambitious interventions have the potential to relieve overcrowding and delays on the subway system. thestar.com/news/gta/2019/07… @TorontoStar @BenSpurr

Sucking carbon dioxide out of the air and converting it into gasoline, diesel and jet fuel for about $1 per litre? Are you kidding me? @CarbonEngineer of Vancouver is doing just that in a big pilot. Scale this!!! Come on #PrivateEquity. sciencemag.org/news/2018/06/…
