Is what the environmentalists told us.
It’s a grudging admission that CCS can and does work. But the biggest issue many environmental groups have with clean coal is its high cost.
Enabling coal driven power stations to continue operating versus a million new windmills, twice as many new natural gas plants or a couple of nuclear plants is cheap at twice the price.
This effectively shifts the argument from, “Rargh fossil fuels!” to “Is it a real problem?”
That’s good.
