@elasticsoul@mastodon.social @thenarwhal@mstdn.ca Saskatchewan does a favor for the rest of Canada. It spent a billion dollars to prove that carbon capture in not effective. No more public money should be spent "developing" this technology until an effective and reliable technology is proven. "Carbon Capture at Boundary Dam 3 still an underperforming failure More than CAD1 billion were spent retrofitting the Boundary Dam 3 coal plant to add carbon capture technology, and the project is still capturing far less than the 90% originally promised. Boundary Dam 3’s long-term CO2 capture rate through the end of 2023 was just 57% Despite this poor performance, CCS proponents still make false claims about how well carbon capture has worked at Boundary Dam. Canadians should not be proud of the money and resources wasted on CCS, and should be especially concerned about the billions of dollars now earmarked for additional CCS investments.: https://ieefa.org/resources/carbon-capture-boundary-dam-3-still-underperforming-failure
