To a point. Remember your p-chem.

Carbon capture is bullshite. Anthropogenic climate change is a hoax, hence carbon capture. It’s an environmentalist wet dream. Just like the California bullet train.




100% correct

Tress capture a lot of carbon, but we're cutting them down to put up windmills.

You mean wind turbines? They don't appear to be made if wood. Now companies like Enviva cut down a ton of trees for "bio fuel"

If the 45Q tax credits are reduced or removed, IMO, most of the projects to capture and inject CO2 will be shelved.

EVERY CO2 capture and sequestration project will be shelved. I was studying a reservoir when Biden raised the 45Q. Before that the projects were not even close to economical. Remember, the only revenue is 45Q.

When they raised it we were able to show a commercial prospect, and we permitted it with the Louisiana Mineral Board and sold our shares to a big operator. We retained some royalties if they ever store CO2.

If CO2 is a problem then CO2 capture and sequestration has a place in the energy supply. Specifically we should capture the easy stuff, like nearly pure CO2 streams off ammonia plants. Also, we should convert natural gas to hydrogen to make hydrogen fuel cells to supply anything bigger than a pickup truck. Sequester the byproduct CO2.

Carbon Capture is like just sticking a vacuum cleaner in the air and saying “look, I am saving the planet!’

Problem with that is, this well will be right below our aquifer.
No it won't. It will probably be at least 1 mile below your aquifer

My thoughts? Carbon capture is a waste of money and won't make any meaningful dent in what it is meant to do. At the same time, it is in no way a dangerous technology so I would not be concerned if this was located near me. The chemistry of the CO2 and the rock pore space makes it a safe process. It has been around for years.

This is correct.

IMO, they won't be removed but they could be reduced back to what they were under the last Trump admin

Curious where this is happening.. the windfarms I see are on the coast or ridges along plateaued areas in west Texas where the air currents are at a maximum..



Michigan is cutting down 400 acres of forest to put in solar farm….maybe that is what he was thinking of

Emitters that are close to easy geology and EOR projects will move forward.

In the Cambrian age CO2 was 6 times higher than present levels. There is only one episode in earths history (late Carboniferous early Permian) when CO2 levels were as low as present levels……

You should study Geologic History. It will rock your world……

This has been one of the most civilized and informative threads on this board in a while.

Thanks everyone. I wasn't aware we could do a thread without trolling or shite posting.

I would think your ability to do something about it would be entirely based on the nature of your ownership. Surface or mineral?

Correct, the wind turbines are not made of wood. But have you ever seen a wind turbine in the middle of a forest?

In order to reduce the number of people you must reduce the amount of food available. In order to reduce the food you reduce what the food consumes. If carnivores have less food to consume predators will also have less food to consume. The logical conclusion is that it's an instrument of depopulation.

Carbon Capture


CC is retarded and more likely to frick things up than make any sort of positive impact. It’s a big circle jerk with the government, banks and O&G pretending to care about the environment.

Use it to make oil less viscous and pump oil out as tertiary recovery. Brilliant plan.

They do not have imminent domain. This is not a utility.

The Precambrian was 10X current levels and there was an explosion of life our planet.

I don’t believe this question has been answered by the courts just yet. Could get interesting.
