Listen now | The carbon capture project that Carney is touting as the salve to concerns about the emissions from a new oil pipeline? It’s full of more hot air than Canada’s skies right now.
What’s a really disturbing red flag for me is he keeps touting carbon capture as a solution to offset the new damage. Feels like marketing strategy to allay the fears of people who don’t have the time to look into its effectiveness. I thought CCS was just something he used during the campaign and won’t be actually leaning into.
Best intermediate technological solution while demand keeps increasing. Fossil fuels aren’t going away any time soon, so any investment around CCU and alternatives, together with societal change, will be very welcome.

Capture is better than nothing, but it is far from the best option.
Still, it is at least doing something.
Hopefully it isn’t the only measure that will be taken.
The best solution is electrification. Solar and batteries. The rest is just deluding ourselves.
