Make carbon capture work

-

CARBON capture and storage (CCS) was going to be the saviour of the world but it has not happened. But what if it had?

There would be no need for subsidised wind turbines producing expensive electricit­y putting UK industries at a disadvanta­ge.

No need for the Climate Change Act to reduce emissions while other countries burn fossil fuels to grow their economies.

No need for the annual mega-expensive climate conference­s held at exotic locations.

No need to phase out petrol and diesel vehicles and replace with electric ones which only the well-off can afford.

No need to phase out gas for cooking and heating homes.

But most of all there would be no need for environmen­talists and organisati­ons such as WWF, Friends of the Earth, Stop Climate Chaos Scotland and well-paid climate scientists and their flawed computer models. Will someone please hurry up and make CCS work.
