Why not put a tax on carbon emissions. It would raise a lot of money, it would reduce the environmental damages in the future, it would solve so many problems, and it would be a much more constructive thing to do than to think about raising the income tax. Robert F. Engle

On a submicro scale, pure diamond is billions of billions of carbon atoms bonded to one another. If you shrunk yourself down and stood inside the diamond, you'd see nothing but carbon in a perfect pattern in every direction. Sam Kean

Boron is carbon's neighbor on the periodic table, which means it can do a passable carbon impression and wriggle its way into the matrix of a diamond. But it has one fewer electron, so it can't quite form the same four perfect bonds. Sam Kean

Diamond Way Neighbor Table Perfect Periodic Impression Matrix Same Fewer Quite Form Which Means Electron Carbon Four Bonds

One theme I ran into over and over while writing about the periodic table was the future of energy and the question of which element or elements will replace carbon as king. Sam Kean

Natural gas emits only half the carbon dioxide of coal when burned, but if methane leaks when oil companies extract it from the ground in a sloppy manner - methane is far more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide - it can wipe out all the advantages of natural gas over coal. Thomas Friedman

Natural Half Extract Out Sloppy More Only Potent Wipe Advantages Over Leaks Than Greenhouse Oil Oil Companies Burned Natural Gas Far Manner Coal Ground Companies Carbon Carbon Dioxide Gas
