Eco-Activists Are Trying To Kill Green Tech That Could Eliminate Emissions From Fossil Fuels

• Numerous environmental nonprofits oppose the development of carbon capture technology, which allows fossil fuel producers to offset some of the carbon emissions they produce, even though the United Nations says that the technology is needed to meet international climate targets.
• The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) calls for that governments and other entities must use carbon capture technologies to remove greenhouse emissions from the atmosphere in order to limit global temperature increases to below 2.7°F, compared to pre-industrial levels, according to an April IPCC report.
• “The last thing they want to see is a mechanism that allows oil and gas to remain effective sources of energy,” Rio Grande Foundation President Paul Gessing told the Daily Caller News Foundation…

  This Daily Caller News Foundation article is no surprise. The eco crowd care more about eliminating an entire industry more than they care about reducing greenhouse gases. They hate it that we reduced our footprint so much by using natural gas.

 

Anyone notice how in blue states there is an all out effort to eliminate natural gas for heating and for home appliances? To them natural gas is enemy #1 since it burns so clean and fracking made it plentiful and cheap.

 

Sooo... whats the problem with oil if its not emissions?

 

These bicoastal secular progressive urban elites care more about killing off the fossil fuels industry and replacing it with what they want regardless of actual emissions and carbon footprint. The great reset…

 

Going to go out on a limb and assume the article is true, so I'd have to say that the folks you're dealing with here, the environmentalists, are so rigid in their vision that they can't see the big picture. I always question the competency of those who think huge ingrained systems like fossil fuel use will just change overnight. Environmentalists, as ultimately good as their cause in general is(protecting the environment IS actually important), have to accept that since they have no viable alternative to offer in place of fossil fuels that can handle the same scale of use, compromises and slower approaches are something you're going to have to live with. Humanity will always have an environmental impact, even on our best green behavior, and it's just as important to manage it from a humanitarian standpoint as it is an environmental one. Sometimes you have to lean towards what's better for humanity instead of the environment.

 

It is accurate and your response is reasonable

 

Great post. There is no economically viable way to implement the desired green agenda. The green one is simply a cover for the international, not domestic red agenda.

 

Do you realize that carbon capture actually requires energy? That it costs money?

Part of the free energy usable as work from the combustion of octane comes from the release of more gas molecules (CO2) as products than there were there as reactants (O2), resulting in an entropy increase. Now, this entropy has to be reduced when CO2 is captured, requiring energy. This even further decreases the already poor efficiency of the internal combustion engine, which is around 30%. In contrast, the electric motor has >90% efficiency. On a society level, we just can't afford to throw away 60%+ of the usable energy as heat, with the antiquated ICE cars.

 

Electric cars require energy too. Glad you see the ignorance.

 

Hey, I never said that EVs don't use energy. EVERYTHING that humans do requires energy. Electric cars, however, use a lot less energy than ICE-powered cars. And there I thought conservatives were FOR conservation, i.e. saving, for example energy and money.

I wold urge you, however, to think about what my last post was about. Namely, that carbon capture reduces the already low efficiency of the ICE, therefore, increasing the rate at which precious fossil fuel reserves will be used up. Or, does partisanship prevent you from thinking about the scientific basis behind things?

 

Idiots Forecasting -20 here We-Th! Lets see Mean Green Energy handle that

Global warming, I WISH!! Lakes here already 14inch ice capped!!

 

The colder the temp the shorter the charge last! Even the most basic vehicle necessities like defrosters, compartment heating, wipers, flood lamps make EV's pretty much useless in colder climates, and actually dangerous! How long you reckon you can survive at -0 temps sitting on the side of the road

 

Carbon is life. I'm completely against Carbon Capture.
