CO2 is interesting in that it can have properties of a solid, liquid, and gas simultaneously. Remember dry ice for making fog before modern fog machines? Remember how CO2 mysteriously turned from solid ice to gas and skipped the liquid phase? Why does CO2 behave so weird like that? The answer is pressure. Learning all about CO2 and CO2 sequestration is very important for the world's energy future. Check out our May MOGM and stay tuned for a 101 course in carbon dioxide and its interesting properties. CO2 is a long lasting greenhouse gas and we must learn to mitigate its release to our atmosphere in a cost effective way while still producing the industrial gigawatt power we need to to keep America's economy running.
