A plan by Saskatchewan and Montana to clean up the air by pumping carbon dioxide emissions underground has been buried.
Saskatchewan Innovation Minister Rob Norris admitted Thursday that talks on the proposed $270-million carbon capture and storage project quietly ended late last fall.
“That chapter has come to a close. Those talks have been discontinued,” Norris said at the provincial legislature in Regina.”
