.the resulting CO2 recycled through a combustor, turbine, heat exchanger and compressor and then a miracle happens? The CO2 magically turns into fairy dust and disappears off the face of the Earth forever?
But no mention of what happens to the CO2 that would make it emissions free. It can't be recombined to make a hydrocarbon again because that would require more energy than you got out of it the first time.
So I looked up the details on the power plant in Laporte Texas mentioned in your article.
As it turns out, they haven't reinvented the laws of physics, or chemistry.
CO2 is captured and salable.
So the same amount of CO2 is produced. It will just be reused typically in the food industry. When you open your bottle of Pop or meat product, that CO2 will still be released. A market that is miniscule compared to the amount of CO2 we would be producing if every fossil fuel power plant were due capture their CO2 in this method and try to sell it. So it is very energy intensive, not scalable, and still requires natural gas which your comrades are against, as pointed out by hamloc.
But it sure sounds good in the CBC article.

hope its right , nice to see them trying to progress, and using the old stable NG

That's all you got A5 when someone comes up with a net zero generation plant from fossil fuels?

I thought you said net zero and adequate electricity supplies are impossible?

Hmmm, Integrity Farmer said fracked natural gas was a bad for the environment as coal, good to see you don’t agree with him. I certainly have no issue with clean dependable ways of generating electricity, just unreliable intermittent ones!

The natives are being lead astray again. Instead of working with real resource companies to exploit their reserves of minerals and FF, they have now bought into another govt backed scheme that will end in failure.

Just like this Cowessess wind turbine and solar array. Array is always covered by snow and nobody can be bothered to clean it off, wind turbine is always down for some reason. Runs maybe 30% of the time. Probably cant afford the maintenance.

Sorry chuck, I didn't know you expected a serious reply to your post when you included that hilarious punchline at the end.
The non-scientific article is completely devoid of any useful details. But right off the bat they say the process requires combusting pure oxygen. But doesn't indicate where that oxygen will come from or how it is produced, or if the energy required to produce that pure oxygen is included in the net zero calculations. It requires a lot of energy to produce pure oxygen, so I expect
the electrical energy required to produce the oxygen is not included in the net zero calculations calculations. pure oxygen from air with current technology is about 420 kWh/t-O2 (ECRA, 2009).
I need to do some more research and I will get back to you on this.

Did you get your Ford Lightning ordered yet Chuck.
Give us a report when it comes in.

How long do you have to wait for delivery?
Can you apply for the rebate as soon as you cut the cheque or do the want the registration?
What is the rebate on a Lightning?

Uhm, notice it isn't a solar project.

Its a cbc article, so we know none of it is probably true.

A casino has a 10x better return than any renewable project.

i guess if you want your kids to work in one of those shitholes

Chuck made a joke.
Even funnier in light of the cbc thread that he hasn't acknowledged.
