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

Just seems like it can lead to earthquakes. Also, pipe's life isn't infinite. What happens when it starts to leak? What about the possibility of is turning acidic, dissolving underground layers, and causing huge sinkholes?

I also read that the energy required to run one of the plants is immense. You have to build a new power plant, leading to more emissions, just to power the capture plant.

Well, that’s false.

It is a fact that CO2 concentrations are increasing dramatically due to man’s activities.

It is a fact that CO2 is a greenhouse gas and that the excess CO2 is warming the earth and the earth’s atmosphere.

It is also a fact that the global warming alarmists have been dishonest and provably wrong almost every step of the way.

What is in doubt is how fast is this warming occurring. We know that the earth was in a warming cycle before CO2 concentrations ramped up very much, so what part of the current warming is due to normal cyclical solar activity and what is due to CO2 and methane concentrations? We don’t know that.

I am of the view, expressed by Elon Musk (who agrees with everything I wrote above, BTW), that waiting to find out if increasing CO2 concentrations will be ruinous “is not an experiment we should try.”

Now me and Elon might be wrong, but we have certainly given a logical reason for doing it.
