A new report from Pennsylvania's Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) recommends using the state's public forests as an underground dumping ground for CO2 captured from coal plants.
The agency's twisted reasoning follows, from John Quigley, chief of staff:
Coal is with us and will be part of the energy mix for the foreseeable future, but if we want to avoid frying the planet, we're going to have to do something about controlling carbon emissions.
What is the fastest way for that to happen? Well, we've advanced the idea that public lands should be part of the mix.
Except for one thing: Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) -- as it's called -- isn't a quick fix at all.
