Norway Abandons Carbon Capture

A while ago I wrote here about Norway's attempts to become the go-to place for testing carbon capture and storage technology (CCS).

Unfortunately, that now appears to have gone belly-up due to spiralling costs and delays (See here).

That's a real shame because this is probably one of our most promising bets for stopping climate change.

I find it bizarre that the big fossil fuel companies, particularly in coal, aren't throwing everything at this technology as it may be the best hope their industry has of avoiding being phased out by the world's future attempts to tackle climate change.

Perhaps they're in denial?
