"Things are tough right now. And as the saying goes, ‘when the going gets tough, quit doing the hard stuff and just cling to what kind of worked in the past.'"
The problems I’ve seen, as an adimittadly casual air-source carbon capture follower, are that no system in use currently can actually prove viable. All the calcs and test samples don’t line up with field results. For sure we need to figure out why and make it work, but it being sold as an answer is still extremely suspect
Keeping in mind that this is the Beaverton, the most trusted news in Canada, CCS is just part of the green washing PR so liberals can get that warm fuzzy feeling inside like something is being done when practically things get much worse.
The issue is that it continues to be sold as if it does work. It’s been used as leverage when proposing more oil projects, and as a greenwashing panacea for politicians, for 20+ years now, despite that it’s complete vapourware.
They needed to made to work before it was used as an excuse to drill-baby-drill. Not 30 years later.

If it can’t be made to work, we’re fucked. It sucks that we’re dependent on making an unproven technology work, but that’s what we’ve come to.

Yeah many things should’ve been done 30 years ago. That’s irrelevant now. The only thing that matters is what is done now.
