Exactly same drama is playing out in Iowa.
Stupidity reigns.
The first leak of one of these pointless pipelines or sequestrations that harms anyone should be the juncture that begins suing this crap out of existence.
Summit For Carbon Solutions on a Carbon based Planet ,LOL
transport the gas in liquid form to be injected underground or sold for industrial use.
If it can be done cost effectively, carbon capture and carbon sequestration would be a great technology to deploy. Finding an industrial use and thus a legitimate market for captured carbon would be even better. It is a mistake for Republicans to oppose this reflexively. What’s wrong with it?
Pipeline safety? We have pipelines all over the place, carrying all manner of materials. They are a safe way to move stuff. We know how to do this. The occasional spill can be contained and fixed. And in this case, we’re talking about carbon that would otherwise be released as CO2.
The left opposes ethanol for the same reason the left opposes natural gas and coal. The left now wants an all electric future, provided the electricity is generated by wind, solar, unicorn farts and wishful thinking. Why should conservatives help sabotage alternative technologies?
“The credits incentivize the removal of heat-trapping carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, where it contributes to climate change.”
These morons make statements as if they were actually true.
Eminent domain means you don’t own property. You pay taxes, maintenance and insurance. But it’s not yours.
So their solution to this full of baloney non-problem is to concentrate huge, ast quantities of CO2 and transport it in pipelines. Do they, and do the rest of us, understand that this much concentrated CO2 is INCREDIBLY hazardous? If that pipeline leaks, it will silently kill whatever doesn’t get out of its way. Look at the village in Africa that was wiped out with no survivors by a cloud of CO2 released from under a lakebed after a landslide.
Another scam that ends with billions of dollars loss for the taxpayers.
Plants take in CO2 and give off oxygen and we humans breath out CO2. Cycle repeats.
The sun gives off energy that changes the weather here on earth and thru-out the solar system. A minor increase or decrease changes the weather here for better or worse.
Add in the planets tilt and wobble and volcanoes and shifting continents and meteor strikes.
Man is not in control. We are just along for the ride.
