Brad Wall uses taxpayers money for carbon capture

[chuckChuck]

Brad Wall and supporters please explain why it is okay to use taxpayers money to subsidize an experimental carbon capture project at Boundary?

I don't think Brad really thinks we should do anything about reducing carbon emissions. Although he did say yesterday he is not opposed to a carbon, tax he just does not think it should be imposed now because of the bad economy.

But he was all in favour of using taxpayers money for Boundary which is in effect a carbon tax.

Ya but it only cost $ 1.25 Billion

Not a big dealwhen your a conservative lol

[mustardman]

Most of your ndp friends were there building It never heard to much complaining from them.

you guys are f$&king hilarious

I was told by a friend it was Bill Boyd who pushed through the carbon capture and the smart meter fiasco. Sounds plausable.

[mustardman]

Sounds like Bill is the man you need if you want to get 3 x market value on your land sale too

[mustardman]

So they captured 625,000 tonnes so at 1.25 billion that is only $2000 per tonne of carbon.!!

Makes the liberals plan of $ 15 per tonne sound like a helluva deal

[bucket]

At that rate with no maintenance costs ... laugh now .... in 100 years they can get it down to 20 bucks. Brilliant.

Sounds to me like more work needs to be done to make carbon capture more cost effective.

But since we are telling tales of government waste related to C02 lets look at NDP Premier Notley in Alberta. She has mandated that all coal power generation be shut down by 2030, fair enough. What is interesting is that the plan already in place was that by 2034 only 10% of our power would be coal generated. The cost to Albertans to compensate power companies for lost revenue due to early curtailment of their plants ranges on the low end at 5 billion but could go as high as 15 billion. Plus she has tasked the Alberta Energy regulator with coming up with an incentive program(subsidies) by the end of May to start the building of new green energy infrastructure. Yeah Muustardman and Chuck2 I really enjoy the balanced spending plans of NDP governments. Have a good day:-)
