In recent years, lots of American companies have gotten behind a potential climate solution called carbon capture and storage, and the Biden administration has backed it with billions of dollars in tax incentives and direct investments. The idea is to trap planet-heating carbon dioxide from the smokestacks of factories and power plants and transport it to sites where it is injected underground and stored.
But the idea is controversial, in large part because the captured carbon dioxide would be shipped to storage sites via thousands of miles of new pipelines. Communities nationwide are pushing back against these pipeline projects and underground sites, arguing they don't want the pollution running through their land.

Another carbon shifting waste of money. The green energy zealots have zero real world knowledge about much of anything, but they think they can subsidize yet more green energy billionaires with subsidies paid for by tax payers.
It's all slight of hand. They take carbon from the polluting states and shift it to non-polluting states with federal ground. Just like they do with broken wind turbines. They bring them to Wyoming to be buried because they are not biodegradable.
