Carbon capture is interesting on paper, and perhaps even at a pilot scale, but I don't think it's really viable commercially, and won't  be.  Entropy and all that.

You end up putting more energy into it than it's worth.

Trees do a better job.  Kudzu even better.

No, my point is you generate energy and then consume it and then some to capture CO2.  It doesn't matter how much coal we have.

Mining, disposal of fly ash, transportation of coal, dirty air, CO2, all bad things with coal.  And it COULD be replaced if "we" had any sense.  Won't be of course.

Yeah, 90 is too much. 

But it should cool off to a high of 77 Sunday just in time for a round of golf.
