Brad LeBlanc ,a geologist has given several presentations outlining the potential dangers of Co2 sequestration.I’ve attended 4 of them ,he scares the shite out of me.There are a couple of videos on YouTube.
One of the proposed sites is only about 10 miles from my house,(at Hot Wells) I suppose the same aquifer from which my water comes from.How do people live without water.They can’t.
People would have no choice but to abandon their homes and move out of state.I’m 75 years old,I want to die in my home ,on my family land that has been in the family since 1920.

It’s all bullshite,that will do nothing to help the environment.

Some LSU people were at one meeting assuring everyone the Co2 wouldn’t leak.They don’t really know that,no doubt they are being paid off to be in favor of this scam.

The first and only sequestration project is in Decatur Illinois which was supposed to have the ideal sandstone formation in which to sequester Co2.
The experts were sure it wouldn’t leak.The experts were wrong,it did leak.

Not all CO2 that is captured is used for the purpose of injecting it back into the earth for storage or EOR. One other use for it is to combine it with hydrogen and create methanol.

The CO2 can be captured during the combustion that occurs at a power plant. It can be pushed through a pipeline or transported to be another plant to be combined with Hydrogen to create Methanol. Methanol has an assortment of uses.

I love being a geologist and reading about all of the fearmongering.

Landowners of depleted oil/gas fields would love some of that for royalties. What the phuck do you think that Gray Stream wants if for their ranch at Ged, LA south of Vinton. It was formerly one of the most, if not the most prolific oilfields per surface acre in the history of oil. Lacassane Company would love to have it. Oil and gas were produced from there for 90 years, Their mineral rights include a big chunk of Lacassine Wildlife Refuge with the land sold to the Feds pre WWII with royalties paying first paying off the marshland purchase then going 100% to the company.

They get paid in perpetuity by those buying space for sequestration.

If you hear someone speaking seriously about carbon capture you're either dealing with a moron or a thief.

Methanol plants exist where natural gas is cheap and plentiful. All in the US were gone by 2005. They have returned since cheap natural gas is plentiful. Without methanol there is no polyester resin be it for making fabric or your bottle of soda. To make hydrogen from solar or wind supplied electricity the water used has to be ultra pure and the capital investment is the same for the water as it is for the electrolysis reactors with easily damage membrane filters.

Capturing CO2 after combustion is not really feasible or economical.

Most modern power plants have wet scrubbers already for particulates, capturing is easy.
