Has Carbon Capture worked anywhere, outside of a laboratory? It hasn’t here.

It strikes me that there will be a great deal of investment and creating lots of jobs…However, unlike manufacturing very little in return. Can the UK afford it?

They did it on Mars a billion years ago and look what happened to them… :009:
Do they actually know what they are doing? I think not…

Didn’t you know that Cinders?

I just can’t get my head around the idea behind carbon capture. To me it just seems like it’s a case of sweeping something under the carpet, instead of resolving the actual problem in the first place.

Trees and plants breath in CO2 and breath out O2. It would make more sense to me to build more roads through forests to absorb the CO2 produced by ICE vehicles. :wink:

Other options are available, and they don’t involve covering fields with solar panels that stunt the growth of the plant-life underneath that then inhibits the absorption of CO2.

£22 billion black-hole in the economy. Let’s double it!

We live on an island surrounded by tidal seas. I live near the River Severn that at around 10m, has the second highest tidal rise and fall in the world.

Now here’s a thought, why not invest in tidal turbines, generate clean energy, and develop a world-beating industry that we can sell on to fund the economy.

I contacted the local labour candidate before he became my new MP about this, and he never replied.

Too efficient.

The decline in the number of farmland birds is largely due to habitat loss, with fewer hedgerows, trees and other vegetation for them to nest in. The use of pesticides and fertilisers has also reduced the population of insects available for the birds to eat.
