Carbon capture got a vote of confidence this week in hearings for Chris Wright, who is Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Energy, as evidenced by this line of questioning from Senator John Hoeven:
(John Hoeven to incoming Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright) Will you work with us to address the carbon capture, CO2 capture, not only to address CO2 concerns but also to use it as a resource for additional oil recovery? Will you come with me to the University of North Dakota Energy and Environmental Research Commission there and see what we’re doing and work with us on things like Project Tundra to do this?”
Wright’s response? “My answer is a resounding yes.”
And..
Former Gov. Doug Burgum, who will almost certainly be confirmed as Trump’s secretary of the Interior and will serve as the chair of a Trump-created energy council, is as enthusiastic about carbon capture as Hoeven is.
compressed CO2 has lots of uses
fracking being only one of them
Pretty sure it’s just hard for you to put things into words.
When does your H1B expire?
Let’s see: the compressed CO2 is going to be transported somehow.. I found myself behind a big tanker truck full of it heading north on I-29 one day. So it’s already going through population centers..
Another way to move it is by rail. Trains might well be the most efficient way to transport hazardous materials in the future, and instead of underground pipelines, the landowners can have brand new railroad tracks across their properties.
Not having the pipeline really benefits Soros/Buffet interests.
I don’t have a problem with the pipeline.
Just like I didn’t have a problem with the Keystone XL Pipeline.
My problem with BOTH projects is I am pretty much absolutely against ANY private corporation that isn’t being regulated as a Public Utility using eminent Domain to take the land of people who don’t want to sell it.
The Kelo vs New London Supreme Court case was a bad decision and should be overturned.
“The political divide on carbon capture isn’t so much left vs. right or Republican vs. Democrat as it is centrists and pragmatists versus the fringes.“
Fighting the pipeline = Fighting Trump
Talk about a bunch of RINOS!
