  • From the page that you linked:

    The important thing to remember is don’t use possessive apostrophes with any pronouns, either possessive pronouns or possessive adjectives.

    If you see an apostrophe with a pronoun, it must be part of a contraction.

    its—possessive adjective of it

    it’s—contraction for “it is”

    The nature of the object doesn’t change which form to use (which should make it easier to determine which is correct), and the correct form is not a debate.

    Sure, language changes, but for now that’s the accepted rule.





  • What’s interesting about the facility in the article is that it’s not capturing carbon from fossil fuels: it’s capturing CO2 generated from the fermentation of ethanol. That means the CO2 came from plants (corn), which is known as biogenic CO2. If low carbon electricity is used to capture biogenic CO2, the net result is a lowering of the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. That’s in addition to the energy content of the ethanol, which could displace fossil fuels.

    Carbon capture isn’t the sole solution, but could be part of it.
