Problems at two CCS “success stories” cast fresh doubt on the technology (reneweconomy.com.au)

Oil & gas companies (in Aus anyways) have been lobbying governments to throw money at developing this technology. Pointing towards these sites as success stories.

While i can see the benefits of carbon capture, i reckon the millions could be much better spent on proven technologies to eliminate carbon generation in the first place.

CC is just a scam

Bright Young Things™️ come up with an idea for CC. Venture capitalists and governments throw money at them. They mess around for a bit and say "Sorry it doesn't work at scale" and bugger off with the money.

Venture capitalists don't care about losing the money. It's greenwashing for them. Governments don't care either as they can say "We can burn all the carbon we like as in the future CC will suck all the CO2 out of the atmosphere".

rinse and repeat, always repeat.
