That's fair to...no one.

Stealing fair and square.

Hopefully we will see the same from CCS projects.

Withdrawn plans...or omitted climate impact assessments? Or both?!

boorhin.bsky.social•24 days ago

I want someone to explain to me how much energy is needed to capture, transport and reinject CO2 in reservoirs without destabilising it and still have a negative mass balance in terms of GES. I know the answer but still billions are wasted to green wash the industry, much from taxpayers.

So yes a real impact assessment would be welcome

Gotcha

"I'm gonna sell you this coal. What you do with it next is up to you. Put on on your shelf. Give it to your mam. Do whatever you want. I don't wanna know about it."

I was at Tynemouth once and showed my mam some coal I’d found on the beach (I’m a geology geek). To her credit she did not roll her eyes and say “FFS Rachel”. She has great restraint.

Emissions from burning coal affect the climate? When did that news break?

Feels like a bit of an omission tbh 🤔

And a bit of an emission

Almost as though it was deliberate.
Surely not? 🙄
