You bought into the CO2 is a Pollutant or a Problem Lie?

Sheesh

No, I don’t buy into CO2 being a problem.

But if CO2 emissions could be profitably used for enhanced oil recovery, it sounds good to me.

However, if we can’t even build a conventional Keystone pipeline, I don’t see us building the infrastructure to use power-plant CO2.

BTW, the greenies would hate the idea of using CO2 to recover more oil, which they also hate.

CO2 is a greenhouse gas as is methane and other gases. The question is whether or not the amount that can be attributed to humans is sufficient to change or even affect the climate. Studies are all over the place and much of the additional CO2 goes into various sinks. There is no general theory of climate as it is a hugely complex subject.

My opinion is that it isn’t a factor at this point, climate change happens constantly throughout geologic history. I can’t guess what is coming.
