Comment & Debate
Peter Montague, PhD Executive Director of the Environmental Research Foundation. “Carbon Sequestration: What’s the Point?” December 1, 2008: “The ideal solution [to global climate change] would be to stop making waste CO2 by phasing out fossil fuels and getting our energy from solar power in all its forms (direct sunlight, wind, and hydro dams). We know how to do this today… Every engineer knows that avoiding waste is far better than managing waste. So CCS is fundamentally bad design.”
