Carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects are being canceled left and
right. The latest victim is an American Electric Power (AEP) project in
West Virginia. AEP ignored a $334 million federal grant underwriting
half the cost, blaming changing legislation and unreliable government
support. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations due in
September will force power plants to capture two thirds of CO2 output.
Most CCS projects survive by selling their output to enhanced oil
recovery operations, so without a national CO2 pipeline network,
prospects for widespread CCS are dim. Should the federal government
jump-start a national network?
Assamnet needs a serious debate on whether/How we should go green for:
Earning a few Crores of INR as lollypopEnding the wasteful TEA plantations
introduced by Brit East India Company( now controlled by an Indian)
Repopulating all wastelands with new SuperBamboo- in lieu of PVWhat to grow
and what to eat-- by humans, domestic animals,birds beasts
