The Ideology and Reality of Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage
"In the future, we will see plane tickets that are carbon neutral thanks to carbon dioxide removal, and natural gas power plants that have no pollution at all. These are opportunities to be welcomed, rather than solutions to be shunned for the unforgivable sin of not being an environmental activists’ preferred climate solution."

Is Biden’s War on LNG the New Anti-Nuclearism?
