Obama Said to Ban New Coal Plants Without Carbon Controls

16. Indeed. Plus even if you 'C'apture the 'C'arbon... the 'S' renders the approach unusable

There has been extensive debate on that... from injecting it into the deep sea to storing it in shale formations or shut oil wells.
They all carry enormous risks, from extremely rapid ocean acidification to disruption of the food chain; the geological formations approach is insecure, a large scale accidental release of a CO2 'geyser' has the potential to kill off everything on the surface in a very large area... and then there are the myriad of unsolved technical problems AND the very large energy costs associated.

It's a total non-starter but has been cited by politicians all over the spectrum as THE solution to our climate problems.
Pure smoke and mirrors.

Indeed kick the can down the road. It's infuriating... especially that most of the voters believe this rubbish because it has been treated as 'fact for a decade now. Incidentally a decade where there has been no progress on CCS.

Anyway, thanks for your reply
