Carbon Capture Must be Utilized

Martin Rees & Nick Butler, Financial Times | September 15, 2008

In reality there are no means by which to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels before 2050. ++ Therefore, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) stations are needed to control the amount of carbon that is emitted into the atmosphere. ++ The Group of Eight has endorsed this approach and must now act by building 10 to 20 such stations to test which methods are most secure and effective. ++ Britain must take the lead by mandating that a CCS station be built in conjunction with a new coal-fired power station in Kingsnorth.
