Was no one concerned about Letlow being Pro-Carbon capture?

For those who don't know, carbon capture is being developed in Livingston Parish completely against the will of the overwhelming number of voters there. Many see it as another laundering scam with no real world benefit with only potential dangerous downsides.

And Letlow is for this? Why?

I guess we really do not care about the sovereignty of local voters either. It would be one thing if the locals were for it, but they are not. This development will go directly under their land and they have no vote or way to stop it now.

I can't see how any "conservative" would be for this in principle unless they were bought and paid for (hint: all politicians are).

Carbon capture is so yesterday.

We’re doing data centers now.

Not for Louisiana. It's just starting. Private Equity is possibly about to destroy SE LA ecosystem so some globalist suits can make a few extra dollars.

But there is a commonality. BOTH of those things, locals are overwhelmingly against, yet they are somehow pushed down their throats.

Both of those things expose how local power has lost its sovereignty to big money and the federal government.

This is such a bad take.

Congress passed a tax incentive to put Carbon in the ground because the communists running the country hate trees and want to take their food away.

So companies reacted. It was now profitable to take methane, strip out the co2 and put it in the ground.

What the communists did not realize that this process frees up hydrogen that is very valuable. The hydrogen is piped to industry on the river to make high end products. A reliable source of hydrogen is incentive to build more industry. win win

As the other posted noted, this is old news. All these new accounts trying to get us to hate Letlow.

government incentives are the only support mechanism for carbon capture. CC is really stupid from a physics, chemistry, financial logical standpoint and sustains nothing.

governments do change, incentives go away, and companies that chase the incentive get stuck holding the results. If the company collects enough incentive up front and the long term cost of defunct facilities is nil, maybe they get to skate. But its the public money that's wasted is where the crime is.

Reread. Let me help.

Against the will of the voters. Local leaders sold out (or were removed) and discussions were shut down just like with the data centers all over the country.

Companies reacted by cronyism. Bought off politicians complied.

Sure it isn't communism, but the end result is the same. The autonomy of the people is gone in the name of money.

the original post is assuming the Carbon capture is bad, Also CO2 pipelines are bad.

With no proof. There are already millions of miles of co2 pipelines in this country. Lake Maurepas will not drain through the hole with the co2.

It is fake outrage.

Bruh at this point, I am assuming you may be slightly retarded.

It doesn't matter if the new tech was a gold making machine that rained money down of everyone in the area. The point is the locals are overwhelmingly against it and have no recourse. They are being ignored. Just like with the data centers.

That's the issue. How can any conservative be for that in principle?

Voters in this state are incredibly uninformed. I don’t think it’s unique to Louisiana, but we are talking about our election.

Cassidy needed to be removed because he is a retard. Mission accomplished there. But one of the most low voter IQ things one can do is vote for a candidate just because “your guy” (Trump) says you should vote for them. I’d be surprised if she is any better than Cassidy.

I have no idea where we stand in this fight against CCS. I don’t even know if there is a fight left.

Damn I hate politicians.

This is how the system works, And this Senate race should not be a referendum on the system.

The initial approvals for the pipeline were given in 2020. Letlow was probably still married at the time. Elected officials approved this project.

It is a pipeline. It is not new technology. It is not any more dangerous than anything else up and down the river.

It is simply a wedge designed to separate people who probably agree about the bigger issues.

And to oldskull who talks about the $$$. I would say you should get back under your bridge.

She is pro carbon capture and pro DEI. I'm guessing La voters believes she will change her stripes.

You have said this more than once. Was there a parish wide vote on it? No doubt there are people opposed to it, but I've not seen a vote - maybe a poll, and we know how those can be.
