CCS : Unproven and Scarey
Carbon capture sequestration is unproven technology, and no one knows for sure if it’ll even work. So I guess they will try the old trial and error act to see how this technology can be introduced. All CCS is, is carbon being injected underground. If they are successful in capturing and injecting this deadly stuff, who is going to montior this tuff, to make sure this CO2 is going to stay where it’s put. My assumptation is that we will be guinie pigs for this project. Just like coal slurry injections, this is not a solution to dispose of CO2. Like coal slurry injections, they’ll be unable to monitor this stuff, and how it will migrate underground. Just like coal slurry injections, it’s not solving the problem, just creating another. And the scary part is, that people’s lives might have to be sacraficed, in order to see if this technology even has a chance of working. And in the course of this testing, people’s lives will be sacaficed, They’ll be this cover-up, to put the blame everywhere except where it really belongs. If this Co2 ever escapes from where it’s injected, it will cost many people to lose their lives, just as coal slurry injections have done. These type of injections will also contaminate our water, which is our most precious resource, and will also contaminate our land, to a point it will be useless forever. In my opinion, CCS is identical to coal slurry injection. I was recently told by a high ranking DEP officer, that coal slurry injections is the worst thing that was allowed to happen today, the coal industry should have never been permitted to do these injections. But the DEP continues to issue permits for slurry injection. There is no doubt in my mine, that CCS injections will be a disaster. It’s a shame that people lives hangs in the balance of these deadly and foolish expeirments.
