The Carbon Clock Is Ticking

Special guest Dr. Denny Taylor, scholar, author, and activist., joins Dr. Peter Carter, Paul Beckwith and Regina Valdez to discuss her research in Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS), the fossil fuel industry’s new phase in further diluting action towards implementing a carbon free economy based on carbon free energy sources.

This video was recorded on May 25th, 2022, and published on July 3rd, 2022.

Some of the topics discussed:

• What is CCUS.
• How Big Oil is spending literally billions of dollars to gaslight governments and the public into believing we can go on burning fossil fuels and capture the carbon dioxide that is in the atmosphere through implementing CCUS.
• How the science unequivocally states that it is not possible to develop this technology in time, at scale, without risks to communities. And it will cost trillions in public money.
• How this is diverting resources away from the more meaningful action of converting the energy system to renewable energy and off the burning of fossil fuels.
• How CO2 pipelines will be required and the dangers involved when these pipelines are placed in too close proximity to communities.
• How, because of the questionable promise of CCUS, our very own governments and the UNFCCC have failed to safeguard our climate.
• and much more. . .
