Eerily similar to Walker buying into Waste Management's BS years ago.
That $$$ exchanged hands but the outcome sucks arse for Walker.

Also, they don't own Lake Maurepas, so there's that.

So then who owns the lake?

So they want to store what the EPA now says is literally the most dangerous pollutant underground in Louisiana?

So glad honor code is backing this project.

We are already near the lower limits of CO2 concentration for sustained photosynthesis.
Pissing away more tax dollars and CO2 sequestration serves almost no purpose.

It is called carbon sequestration and has been done for some time now.

Hopefully this retarded idea gets shut down once honor chode is out in a year and half and we don’t have a bleeding heart retard as governor.

Government policy. Every government in the world is moving to zero emissions. At some point you can’t reduce the CO2 you make in all these industrial processes and the best way is to bottle it up. This process is proven out pretty well now and it’s very low impact. Plus LA will make a bunch of money for being the hotbed of CO2 sequestration. Y’all don’t realize but this could become a massive industry in LA bc we have the best underground rock formations and soil contents in the USA for this sequestration, and every company wants to do sequestration. The state will make a ton of dollars on this like on oil drilling, and it’ll bring a ton of jobs as companies try to do extra sequestration here to make up for not being able to do it elsewhere
TLDR: Louisiana has a chance to replace the oil industry here for tax dollars long term

All I'm saying is that we better tie this fricker off, or we're all gonna be floating around all willy nilly. No telling where we end up.
Something like this will work. This is just a back of the napkin type deal, nothing solid yet, the details will need to be worked out.

Well due to current and upcoming increased EPA regulations, doing this is pretty much a MUST for the petrochemical industry that provides thousands and thousands of jobs in Southeast Louisiana.
So even your conservative Republican elected officials aren't going to oppose a company doing this, especially when the state stands to gain revenue in injection fees, to go along with keeping the current petrochem jobs and hopefully attracting new ones to Louisiana.

BINGO.

A limnic eruption
With that said, it is debatable as to how much this really protects the atmosphere. Crazy that people still think CO2 is bad.

Lake might get fizzy, baw.
