Apart from the smooth “water stones” deposited by the last glacier was a jagged chunk of glassy black obsidian fused to a layer of grainy brown basalt. Evidently, some billion years ago, there had been a torrential rain in conjunction with volcanic activity.

Specifically, the planned retrofit should channel CO2 as a raw material for the production of algae (food, fodder, fertilizer). Moreover, to foot the bill, we must be prepared to TAX THE RICH and TRIM THE MILITARY.”
Okay?
