Really disappointing.
🚨The UK govt has pledged £22bn for carbon capture and storage. CCS, which remains unproven at scale, is explicitly intended to extend the shelf life of fossil fuel infrastructure. Meanwhile, govt backing for heat pump incentives, which are demonstrably effective, stands at just £2bn.
UK to pledge £22bn funding for carbon capture and storage projects
Latest efforts to develop nascent technology comes after years of delay
Not at all my area of expertise, but if the IPCC suggests large scale CCS will be needed, isn't investment in it (in parallel with eg heat pumps) necessary? (Or is this summary suspect? www.statista.com/topics/4101/...)
