Thanks to an Executive Order, the Biden administration has mandated every power plant in America use a technology that is often referred to as a scam: “carbon capture.” The technology has been slow to implement in the US, partly because of the EPA’s own inability to get it going. IF they are allowed to put it into place by the courts, it could increase your heating bill by anywhere from 30% to 175%. How wonderful for the “green agenda.” The underlying plan is to bring the nation to 80% less carbon emissions by 2030. A “clean green grid” and a total scam.
At this point, Americans are struggling to buy food due to inflation. Buying gas for their vehicles or purchasing home appliances is under attack from the Fossil Fuel War perpetrated by the Biden administration. Forcing the purchase of expensive electric vehicles is another sore spot for struggling families. Now, Biden is targeting your heating bill by mandating that all power plants in the US use “carbon capture.” Some say the technology is viable, others say it is not – there’s always a “catch” with green technology.
What is carbon capture? This is a chart created by M.I.T. that shows the premise behind carbon capture.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Not only would Americans pay more for the privilege of ‘carbon capture’ power, but the power plants would produce less power. Louisiana’s Cleco utility warned that its carbon capture experiment would cut power production by 30%. Pay more, get less: that’s carbon capture…
Like most ‘green’ technologies, carbon capture is a scam. That’s not just a conservative position. Even the most fervent environmentalists, including Greenpeace, which calls it the “Great Carbon Capture Scam”, and the Sierra Club, have said it doesn’t work.
A Stanford study found that carbon capture actually increases air pollution.
A UC Berkeley study found that carbon capture would double water use which would be environmentally catastrophic in Southern California and other water-poor areas. Daniel Greenfield at Front Page Mag
Great job cleaning the environment, Biden. Use a technology that many say doesn’t work. Plants would have to find enough ground to store the carbon emissions, which simply creates another issue of storage in addition to the expensive technology. Power plants will have no choice but to pass the costs on to the consumer. This is a forced plan with the end game of finally killing off not just the economy, but humans as well. Freeze in the winter and fry in the summer.
The Biden administration: “Shooting itself in the foot”
In order to store captured emissions underground at scale, companies need space where they can do this, at so-called carbon capture injection wells, or Class VI injection wells. The EPA has, for some inexplicable reason, been slow-rolling the approval of these wells. In an effort to circumvent this regulatory nightmare, states have sought to secure their own permitting authority, known as “primacy,” to expedite the process. Yet here, too, applications have been gathering dust at the EPA’s offices. If the goal is reducing emissions and tackling climate change — a self-professed priority for the administration — then none of this makes any sense.
Indeed, the backlog has caused delays in new climate investments worth billions of dollars. There are currently more than 70 outstanding Class VI permit applications across eight states. As in any industry, unnecessary delays create uncertainty for businesses and discourage them from investing further. For every additional day that companies have to wait, that’s one less day of reducing emissions…
Ultimately, the delay in permitting Class VI injection wells contradicts the Biden administration’s own stated support for carbon capture technology. Washington Examiner
Can this mandate stand?
In June of 2022, the Supreme Court ruled that the EPA does not have the authority to demand businesses submit to climate change regulations.
By a vote of 6-3, the court agreed with Republican-led states and coal companies that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit was wrong when it interpreted the Clean Air Act to give the EPA expansive power over carbon emissions. The decision, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, was handed down on the final opinion day of the 2021-22 term. SCOTUS Blog
Hopefully, the green mandate for power plants will not stand in light of the Supreme Court ruling from last year. But IF it does, be prepared for a colder winter and a hotter summer.
