further, for the shear volume of CO2 we’re talking about, there’d be an incredible transport issue. basic chemistry will tell you that for every ton of carbon that goes into the plant (in the form of coal or gas) will have to come out as oxygen from the atmosphere added to it (more mass!).

right now the most brilliant idea I’ve seen to deal with large amounts of solid CO2 is to make giant missles out of it and shoot them to the ocean. building-sized CO2 rockets, every 10 minutes, ad infinitum… to deal with all the CO2 we put out.

clearly, we need to stop producing CO2, first and foremost. this technology might help to undue some of the damage we’ve already done.

If you could do an initial test on the ENTIRE smokestack output, the test would be a impractically gigantic investment, and never get done.

So you section off a tiny fraction (5%) and test capturing that CO2 in that smokestack portion. They captured 90% of it.

I’m in a huge farming area and there is literally tons of the stuff around here – it’s fertilizer!

Since it’s Canadian Thanksgiving I’ll lend this link too, a car powered by anhydrous ammonia, Canada 1981…

Carbon Capture and Storage works fine for tiny amounts but the scale is being ignored like the elephant under the living room rug.

Beijing has a similar fake “clean coal” plant.

Since I’m a big fan of wind power, I’m totally delighted. We can expect to see wind turbines being installed in many more rural areas.

It’s news though, that carbon capture turned out to be doable. So it makes it crucial that we don’t allow coal plants to avoid carbon capture retrofitting now that it’s possible. Just common sense.

Given the recent pond failures at US coal plants, I have my doubts that combining a toxic effluent pond, a storage chamber full of asphyxiating gas and a cooling system full of toxic ammonia will make a coal plant a _safer_ thing to have near a community.

My definition of sustainable power includes the requirement that it can’t have a containment breach and wipe out an ecosystem overnight.
