California hopes to fight global warming by pumping CO2 underground. Some call it a ruse
Tony Briscoe - 6h ago
 

It's an emerging technology that climate experts say can prevent billions of tons of greenhouse gases from entering Earth's atmosphere.
 
By capturing carbon dioxide as it spews from oil refineries, power plants and other industrial smokestacks and then forcing it deep underground for storage, humanity can reduce fossil fuel emissions while developing alternative energy sources, advocates say.
 
Now, as California attempts to meet ambitious climate goals, environmental officials are embracing carbon capture and storage, saying the state cannot achieve carbon neutrality without it.

But as officials prepare to finalize a state climate plan that relies on CCS technology, some environmentalists are urging officials to abandon the idea. Instead of helping to wean California off fossil fuels, they say CCS will actually increase oil production.

So, the idea is to pump CO2, which is supposedly bad for the world, into the ground, but in stronger concentrations killing everything around it, is somehow better?

When has pumping a waste product underground ever caused issues?

I hope Californians like carbonated ground water.

Plant more trees?

I hope Californians like carbonated ground water.

If they don't start building more reservoirs, dams and desalinization plants, they won't have any groundwater left, especially after another 10 million illegals flood the state.
