  1. If you can do this with coal, I am certain that it can be modified for dirty oil.
    It is just a mater of capturing the exhaust to make the carbon into a more solid form.

  2. Note – carbon capture is a load of crap. Why not let the CO2 go into the atmosphere where it will create more life and more organic after-life?

    1. Canada has lots of carbon capture – it’s called trees. Going back to Kyoto – I recall Chretien tried to get credit for that thereby making Canada’s commitment easier. They refused and he caved.

    2. The Sask Party with Wall and Moe wasted billions? of Saskatchewan tax payers money on carbon capture and sequestration. The more CO2 the greener the planet. The current CO2 level is 417 ppm up 2 ppm from a year ago. IMO we need a CO2 level around say 800 ppm. Long way to go.

    3. In a hundred million years or much less we will be pumping billions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere to prevent extinction of life on earth. We are so close to that point right now.

    4. Yeah scar, and more life, and more organic afterlife is now verboten, they want to reduce life and save planetary resources for the chosen few. Carbon reduction, taxes, capture, etc are just other avenues being pursued by that same chosen elite to curtail more abundant life. It’s all just to convince the idiot eco warriors and greenies out there that it’s about saving the planet, which it is, it’s about saving the planet for themselves.

  3. Again, Trudeau, Singh, May and O’Toole (for that matter) DO NOT CARE. It is about serving their globalist masters. Our survival is way, way down on their list of priorities.

    1. I agree MikeT, but I’m not sure tipsy May should be on that list, I don’t think she’s even relevant to them.

  4. It’s time for the East to suffer with fuel shortages, shut down line 5. I’m old enough to remember the gas lines in LA, I was there on a holiday. I had no clue where oil came from, why would I care when it only cost $4 to fill my car. That quickly changed and the boom started in Alberta after that.

  6. Ontario got rid of coal. Replaced it with wind and solar backed up 100% with clean, efficient & NATURAL gas.

    I can’t make sense of numbers here.
    https://live.gridwatch.ca/home-page.html

    Ontario’s total installed wind generation capability is 5,436 megawatts (MW) not the 1500 MW as shown.
    Wind is currently producing 1560 MWs (28% of installed capability).
    Clean NATURAL Gas is producing 3,700 MWS

    1. It is quit easy to understand.
      At the present time there is 1595MW of wind power available and that is 8.2% of the available power on the grid.
      100 percent of the available wind power is being used, or very close to it. The information is not a comparison of capabilities, it shows what is happening at the moment.

      1. Thanks for reply. What’s up with the other 3841 MWs of installed wind generation that is doing nothing?

    2. The clean air environmental groups that had lobbied the Province to shutdown the coal now want the gas fired power plants that just got built phased out. The environmental groups are funded by 3 levels of government. Government uses the environmental groups to run its PR campaign to soften up the public and build “consensus”. This practice goes back to early 90’s and Mo Strong. Corporates are offered a piece of the action and play along.

  7. Easy to capture SO2 and particulates. Capturing CO2 and permanently sequestering it is energy intensive massively reducing the energy efficiency of the plant. A thermal energy plant with carbon capture and storage is essentially a CO2 plant, not an energy plant. In other words, a self licking ice cream cone. Thermodynamics is far beyond the magical thinking of greenies.

  8. If something is not worth doing at all, it is not doing well.

    Carbon capture technologies aren’t needed, and serve only to make north American coal more expensive than it has to be, squeezing the life out of the industry.

    Meanwhile, the Chinese are purging Xinjiang of the Muslim population that stands between the Middle Kingdom and a treasure trove of coal, oil and gas, on which nobody in his right mind will ever suggest charging a carbon tax.

    China needs the energy for Beijing’s ultimate goal—world domination.

    When white Albertans are finally sent north of 60 to “re-education camps” from which no significant number will return alive, to be replaced by Chinamen ready to make Alberta’s oilpatch finally reach its potential, there will be one bright side. You won’t hear another word about climate change.

    1. So I guess beavers are a problem as well as they build dams and then rotting vegetation releases methane.
      Everyone must fight against dirty beavers!

    1. People forget the Quebec ice storm of 1998.
      Quebec wants to supply Ontario’s additional electric needs. Windmills and solar won’t meet the supply challenge….ever. They building any new hydro facilities in Ontario? Power lines? What about all those electric vehicles? Have electric buses and new electric subway lines been constructed, or planned? What about the folks living outside Tronna, like say Sudbury, T-Bay? Or even Sarnia? Owen Sound?
      Then there’s the industrial uses, like farming? Manufacturing? Transport? Met any electric farm tractors with the horsepower to pull a 36 foot, low till, seed, fertilizer combo? Harvester? On battery? Electric Kenworth? Electric trains? How about an all “electric” ship to haul Chinah krap from Shanghai to Vancouver and then get the stuff to Tronna? In salt sea water, in a storm?
      You couldn’t afford the sipping costs, or the capital costs to build the infrastructure and make a profit on what you’re hauling.
      Not. Gonna. Happen. All the electric krap needs lubrication to roll. What are you going to use?
