I'm trying to find a good non-paywalled source, but it sounds like it will now be the case in the US that coal power plants have to either close down or capture most of their CO2 (lol) in the next 10ish years?
If this happens, this seems like pretty good news. The two biggest climate change issues are transportation and fossil fuel based electricity. Closing coal (and natural gas) power plants is harder for individuals to influence politically but it's just as important
@jewishreader@sanae cool, but are we going to also subsidize the CO2 that they're selling in leaky pipelines which run through our communities and sometimes oops kill everyone, or require that they turn it back into stable charcoal and bury it, at a net negative energy yield? 😒 "up to 90%"
