<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Maine becomes third state to pass tough coal law]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by Russ http://www.grist.org/article/blocking-ferrari-ready-driveways/ Wed, 16 Apr 2008 18:07:23 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/blocking-ferrari-ready-driveways/1 "capture ready"

The 2007 MIT report basically dismisses the concept of "capture ready" and retrofitting. They say if you're not going to build capture and sequestration pipelines into it right from the start, then all you can do is maybe set aside some space to later insert the capture module.
IOW it's a scam.

(rhymes with rabbit) Does Hawkin's org still hawk CCS?  

Yep!

"We can instead choose a 21st-century alternative: Using existing technologies -- each in commercial operation today -- we can convert coal into a clean-burning gas and capture and dispose of the carbon dioxide deep underground, dramatically reducing air pollution from this dirtiest of fuels."

Beware, don't let NRDC fool you.  Unless/until they experience a radical green rebirth, they are not to be trusted.  They support fuel farming too.

This presentation by Hawkins, is it designed to boost "clean" coal CCS (sarbon capture and storage)?  My guess is yes.  

Their support for nuclear power has waned, but who knows when they will change back to pro-nuclear?

NRDC members and contributors?  You been sold out.

It looks to me as if the easiest way of reducing net emissions of CO2 is by pulverizing olivine and strewing it over large out-of-the-way regions of the Earth's surface, including perhaps its sea surface. This turns out to consume at most ten percent as much energy as is gained when CO2 is emitted. More here.

How shall driving gain nuclear cachet?
