"If we want to achieve global climate goals, we simply cannot be building out a whole lot of new fossil fuel infrastructure," Webb said. "Yet we're seeing calls to prolong the life of coal plants and build new gas plants just to support data centers." www.thecooldown.com/green-tech/a...

A new report from @newclimate.bsky.social finds little corporate support for durable CO2 removal, which is needed to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C. Those that are investing in the technology aren't doing so in conjunction with deep emissions cuts. @grist.org grist.org/accountabili...

Report: Big businesses are doing carbon dioxide removal all wrong

The technology is needed to limit global warming. But corporations are supporting it in lieu of emissions reductions.
