Carbon capture’s flawed foundation: DOE evidence buried in Biden EPA’s climate policy overreach
06/12/2025 / By Willow Tohi



Biden’s EPA omitted key DOE critiques of carbon capture technology, undermining its own Clean Power Plan 2.0 regulations.

Missing comments revealed CCUS as prohibitively expensive and technically flawed, casting doubt on CPP2’s feasibility.

DOE’s National Energy Technology Lab identified the $1B Boundary Dam Project as an 8-year failure, capturing only 57% of CO2.

Courts and states argue the rule violates legal safeguards for affordable energy, citing EPA’s own modeling predicting minimal CCUS adoption.

Legal experts say the agency’s hidden flaws could invalidate the rule, mirroring the 2021 Supreme Court’s rejection of the original Clean Power Plan.

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
