A growth industry!
DocBrain's mother used to joke about the stock market "buy low, sell high". Of course! What everyone wants to find is a growth industry, something that is poised for growth. DocBrain knows one and will share it with you. Ready? Here goes. Plants!
DocBrain believes that plants are on the verge of a major growth spurt and here is why. Global carbon dioxide levels are rising slowly. Whatever the reason, they indeed are going up. In temperate climates, the CO2 levels rise during the winter and fall during the summer due to photosynthesis. However, there still is room for growth. Plants apparently need at least 200 ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere, the higher the better. A greenhouse can drop 100 ppm in one day. Parts of the US have about 600 ppm CO2, mainly in the northeast during winter and the midwest during summer. At 1000 ppm, plant growth rate is double that at normal levels (340 ppm).
Rather than sinking billions into finding ways to penalize industry and force companies to develop artificial ways to dispose of their CO2, why not encourage industries that produce large amounts of CO2 to purchase or sponsor and maintain green areas, such as parks and nature preserves? We all then get to enjoy the extra green areas, and we reduce the CO2 accumulation. Whatever doesn't get used by these parks will hopefully be used by the aquatic plants in the oceans. This will lead to more food for the small aquatic animals and hopefully to a rebuilding of the reefs. Individuals could also do their part by planting more green in and around their homes. We could even have a law that requires all those who live in public housing to have at least 1 plant for every welfare recipient. Further, we could require that everyone who receives money from the government (52% of the population) must have at least one green plant.
Here is what the CO2 looks like:
