Commentary: Carbon capture research shows limited results after decades of oil industry funding
By
Nathan Yau
Summary
A brief commentary on a ProPublica piece about the challenges of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. The author notes that oil companies have funded decades of research into storing CO2 underground with little results, and suggests focusing on solar energy instead. The piece is short and more of a personal observation than an in-depth analysis.
