CC&S is scam. The main way that it could reduce CO2 emissions is by making electricity so expensive that people will turn off their air conditioners (as suggested by Laudato Si) and otherwise reduce consumption.

CC&S reduces the efficiency of generation by around 35% at the power plant. Then the captured CO2 has to be transported and injected at the injection site, which takes even more energy. Then the injection site must be maintained in perpetuity to assure that the CO2 is never released. The life-cycle emissions of CC&S are theoretically infinite.

CC&S is a BS technology that the EPA is touting to ban future coal-fired power generation without explicitly banning same. That's why they need expert propagandists to fool the public.
