Wyoming’s Senseless, Costly Carbon Capture Scheme Would Avert Warming ‘0.0022°F by 2100’

Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon (R) has signed a piece of legislation that directs public utilities providing electricity to more than 10,000 customers to “generate a specified percentage of electricity that is dispatchable and reliable low‑carbon electricity.” [emphasis, links added]

This rule applies to existing coal‑fired plants and equivalent new plants. “Low-carbon” is defined as electricity that is produced with technology that captures at least 18,750 metric tons of CO2 per year.


How much would this cost? And is it worth it?
Well, as they say, we ran the numbers. Thankfully, researchers from the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) have provided the cost and performance estimates for retrofitting an existing coal-fired plant with Shell’s CANSOLV CO2 capture system.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
