A £1bn flagship government project for fighting climate change – the construction of a prototype carbon capture and storage (CCS) project at Longannet in Scotland – is on the verge of collapse, it emerged on Thursday.
Talks between the Department of Energy and Climate Change (Decc) and Scottish Power have run into deep trouble and the electricity supplier is expected to pull the plug on the government-promoted scheme, which hoped to bury carbon emissions from the coal power station in the North Sea.

Global Warming on Free Republic
Why don’t they just plant a forest around the plant? Trees will “capture carbon” without costing the taxpayers a dime.
Give me one tenth of that billion, and I’ll go Johnny Appleseed on their carbon problem :)
Dang it man! Now I need another keyboard. Where did I put the spare - the one WITHOUT all the coffee sprayed on it?
Carbon capture - How can such smart people be so stupid?
It shows how powerful an ideology can be.
Here is my idea for5 carbon capture...
Build a freeking series of greenhouses next to any coal or natural gas fired power stations and pipe in the CO2 into those greenhouses growing hydroponic tomatoes and other vegetables.
Use the power and steam generated during off peak hours to power the extra lighting and heating the greenhouses need.
We could both capture the “oh so deadly CO2” and use the excess energy and put it to good use making food. Rather than just shoving it into the ground like how government money is spent....
Plus we wouldn’t have to rely on foreign countries as much for food, oh the horror....
