Ive often wondered about this. I propose we dig up coal, a form of carbon
free of carbon 14, burn it, exhaust the result into a carefully controlled
greenhouse, in which we grow food which is free of carbon 14. If one
eats only food from this greenhouse, one should be able to reduce
substantially the amount of carbon 14 in ones system. Right? spike
