Thanks for this report by John Robson about another Bill Gates' grand project to save the world. Carbon Capture and Storage is an absurd endeavor that wastes a valuable resource, energy, to lock away an essential, very dilute molecule of life, CO2.

Pikas and squirrels know what needs to be stored in the ground,, grass, and seeds. That is sensible Carbon Capture.

Turning atmospheric carbon dioxide, the molecule of life, into rock and burying it is lunacy. It shows how smart you have to be to become one of the richest people on Earth.

Robson has a way of explanation that is quite enjoyable.

One of the big issues with CCUS is what are they actually storing? How did they fractionate the industrial flue gas to get just CO2? It did they even try?

We have been using CO2 for enhanced oil recovery projects for decades - it is a mature practice. Transporting and handling CO2 is not an easy task. Injecting it into a reservoir is not a simple task. So how do all these projects do it, or do they?

Just pumping industrial flue gas down into a well and injecting it without all of the reservoir engineering and geology of the area is incompetence at its finest. This is where I think many of the government grant projects are. Hurry up and grab the free government money before anybody figures out that the project is a scam. But the climatocatastrophists feel good about every scam. Truly disgusting people.
