Comment:
I understand the scientific consensus that carbon capture is necessary, but if carbon capture is used by Fossil fuel companies and their paid lobbyists to delay the end of fossil fuels, that is a very negative consequence. I am particularly concerned that fossil fuel processing, which will continue with carbon capture has very negative effects on people who live nearby. Poor people and people of color are the ones who live near refineries and drilling sites ad are often the ones who have use and be near gas appliances. Furthermore, eliminating fossil fuels as rapidly as possible will pay for itself many times over in decreases in the costs of pollution. It seems obvious to me that we must make sure that carbon capture does not contribute to the intensification of the climate injustice we experience due to fossil fuels. Environmental justice is extremely important to consider.
