I’m not against £22 billion for CCS development, but this is poor policy. Rather, government regulation should force carbon pollution phase out from power stations and industry over X years, compelling industry to invest in CCS or switch to alternatives. Public funds should subsidise carrots

It's also spending 22bn on the most unreliable tech. If we spent that £22bn on the low hanging fruit - decarbonise our houses - that's a massive improvement to our lives, a vast boost to the economy, and a long-term permanent decrease in emissions

No question that we will need CCS. But industry that most benefits from it (fossil fuel companies) have deep pockets and an obligation considering culpability in this whole situation
