17. Where did I say I oppose proving CO2 capture?
May I suggest you re-read Reply #15 which you responded to.

Repeating from Reply #15:
Again, "clean coal" with CO2 capture and burial will be nice
if and when it works.


As for this supposed coal ban:
Coal and other fossil fuels will be part of that mix for some
time to come. How big a part should be determined by how
effectively CO2 can be dealt with.


I don't propose stopping coal mining and use tomorrow.
Even the post that started this subthread does not propose
this. One more time: If CO2 burial can be made to work,
it will be great.

To repeat the point from Reply #9, we will need all options
that work. If CO2 burial is one of them, fine, but it is not
proven yet. I'll reserve the right to be skeptical.

Framing the issue in black-or-white, left-or-right, us-or-them
absolutes is not useful. You may find that opinions out here
on the "left" are as diverse as those of the "responsible adults." :)
