Take your loss and stop whining about a politcial talking point.

When Julia herself starts digging the dirt for a CCS project, and CCS project, then burn her at the stake.

But for GAWD’s sake, please, pretty please with a cherry on top, move on, the Election is over.

Y’all sound as bad as Democrats when Clinton and Harris lost to Trump.

I'm just asking a question here? (not pro or con Letlow or Fleming)

So this Carbon capture is already in the process right? and is this process is moving forward?

So why is this a big deal on who to vote for Senator? Let just say for example, Fleming ran on opposing it, which is as we all knew that to be true. And he beat Letlow yesterday and the Democate in the fall. WTF he gonna do, coming in and shut down multi-million dollar operation? As Joe would sa, Come on man.

for you= theunknownknight- You keep speaking about the people of Livingston Parish, that it's against there will & don't want this? Who did they vote for/put in place that made these deals?

I highly doubt it was Julia Letlow.

Carbon capture is the biggest hoax this state has faced in a while. This topic could very well make Letlow a one and done senator.

Letlows explanation on her push for DEI at ULM is a tough sell. However, it’s beyond that now as voters are now faced with a general election choice of D vs R.

The voters got rid of Cassidy and if Letlow turns out to be a fake chameleon the voters can address her exit as well.

Then find some rock formations in the Nevada desert to pump it into.

How much money was spent on the now cancelled diversion? One man cancelled that.

CO2 turns into carbonic acid when it touches water.


So Kentwood Springs and Abita Water will now be selling soda water instead of their smooth spring water as they have for decades.

But as far as carbon capture, where is Entergy going to put all that CO2 from those new power plants to power all the DataCenters and plant expansions along the river.

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).


1st, you are 20 years too late. Dirty CO2 pipeline from Jackson Dome has been injected under Denham for that long. Flipping too CCS will only mean much cleaner CO2.

2nd Trump's own Big Beautiful Bill has enshrined the 45Q tax credits.

Any candidate running for Senate who even implied they can do anything about CCS is a phucking liar.

For starters CO2 is turned to Carbonic Acid when it hits water. When carbonic acid hits water it becomes CO2. It's pretty much an instant sort of thing only. When natural gas is cleaned up to be put into a pipeline CO2 is removed with an amine unit. An amine unit is made from regular old carbon steel and they last for many decades without corrosion. Yes there is water in the natural gas at that point.

That dude you are responding to only parrots what he has heard from LACAG. The "petroleum engineer" guest on that show didn't know that steel lasts for almost forever with CO2. I think his resume said the worked for Sweetlake Land and Oil. Maybe I should ask the retired landman for Sweetlake about this dude. We talk regularly. That entity use to have a lot of natural gas and rice. Both are gone. Major oil companies did the E&P there not their own forces other than to check what Exxon et al were doing. They did win some big lawsuits from "Big Oil" which for dumping saltwater onto the land.

They were going to build a giant solar far there but local due widespread local opposition it may not have happened.

It is government welfare for oil companies. If people complain about our taxes paying for food stamps and illegal’s shite, complain about this too.

If we don’t want it under our property, we have no choice because every bill put forth to let localities decide has been killed.

I doubt that other dude was much more than a construction hand.

Some excess H2 goes into fuel gas in refineries and chemical plants.

I think the difference in CCS discussion in Louisiana vs CCS in Texas is interesting.

Texas promotes the idea that both CCS injection and O&G production can exist simultaneously, given proper geological spacing and engineering controls.

Whereas in LA, the discussion is centered around the uncertainty of the plume and the expansion of these storage units and the effect on the landowner.

I was concerned that letlow does not have enough experience to be a U.S. senator.

I don’t believe she is qualified to be a U.S. congresswoman.

I have never seen her speak to the public in a public setting.

Only seen her in staged family type commercials.

Hell most people could make the same commercials, it doesn’t take a special talent to get pregnant.

Texas doesn’t have Little Huey and a state legislature voting in direct defiance of their constituents.

It is needed in Hydrotreaters and Hydrocrackers. Refineries will use Steam Methane Reformers to strip the H2 out of RFG for the aforementioned process units. Also will have pipelines to supplement
