It'll never work.

Is what the environmentalists told us.
It's a grudging admission that CCS can and does work. But the biggest issue many environmental groups have with clean coal is its high cost.​
Enabling coal driven power stations to continue operating versus a million new windmills, twice as many new natural gas plants or a couple of nuclear plants is cheap at twice the price.


This effectively shifts the argument from, "Rargh fossil fuels!" to "Is it a real problem?"


That's good.


With the opening of SaskPower’s $70-million Carbon Capture Test Facility (CCTF) at Shand Power Station, Saskatchewan is now the acknowledged world-leader in post-combustion carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology.
