It’s nothing new. There really is just no logical purpose for what they’re doing now

You could have every service and oil company capture their carbon and it wouldn’t move the needle when China and India are burning everything still. They just re-lessened their coal and coke sulfur properties so they’re back to smogging it up.

Oil companies have been doing it for decades to increase oil recovery.

Sounds like a dumbass plan to “save the earth” for a bunch of companies to siphon a lot of tax money from a government funded by a scientifically illiterate general public.

It’s just you. And it’s only CO2, not plain carbon.

CO2 has been mined and shipped by pipeline all over America for decades. Putting underground, from whence it came, is very innocuous.

There is a danger, but it is easily avoided. That is due to CO2 being heavier than air. A major leak in a low lying area would displace the air with CO2, suffocating anyone in that area. But this is true of many products that have been traversing populated areas for decades, including CO2.

Anytime this thread comes up about doing this in Lake Maurepas, the company doing it has paid shills come screech at and, call names to, anybody that is not for it.

Congrats on them not finding your thread.

it's waste of time for sure.

There is no historical connection between CO2 in the atmosphere and temperature. But there is a strong connection between CO2 in the atmosphere and plant and thereby animal human life.

The C is in the CO2, it's harmless, natural, organic, and necessary for life.
And they won't be able to hold it underground.
It's all a scam to steal money.

Giving Mother Earth an enema. And we have paid eco-terrorists setting forest fires to save the planet. All those burned alive forest animals would like to posthumously thank all those green organizations for their service in saving an obscure dung beetle.

If the game is CO2 recapture, the play is diatom microalgal farming. But there is no money in it.

They are pushing a capture program up in North La. The proponents are using flowery language about "more jobs" and "high wages" but never explaining that it's all built on the federal government continuing to fund it. There' no profit in it for businesses otherwise so the moment that funding stops, so too do the jobs.

And then what? You're left with a rural area which now has hundreds (or thousands) of unemployed people and tons of federal equipment which will not be used nor sold (at least until well after it's rusted and rotted). Real estate properties depress as some move away to try to find work while others stay and create another Ferriday.

Very terrible.

If one if these CO2 injection wells fails/catastrophic leak, it would look like Bhopal

Not that I believe the economics of CO2 sequestration could stand up without taxpayer subsidies, but come on, man. Industry has been injecting CO2 into pore space for 50+ years.

This fear porn brought to you by someone who doesn’t know how O&G works.
