The excellent folks at www.thejuicemedia.com have a new advertisement that tells the truth about Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).
CCS matters because it’s sold as a way to have our cake and eat it too: We can use carbon-based fuels without emitting carbon pollution! Except that it doesn’t work and uses huge amounts of your money, thus diverting resources away from real solutions. The video is Australian and focuses on life down under, but mentions the USA’s boondoggles too.
For more on the situation here in the USA, see this: www.azocleantech.com/… and this: www.powermag.com/… and this: www.reuters.com/… and...well you get the picture: the failures are many, the successes are none, but the fossil fuel industry continues to get huge subsidies for this nonsense instead of investing in proven technologies that provide clean energy. Right-wing—and, alas, too often liberal governments, too—at work.
Enjoy:
