capture the emissions from fracking?
that's not how CCUS works, what the fuck is he talking about
fracking doesn't emit any CO2 directly, in fact it sequesters carbon if anything when they do CCUS by pumping back into the wells (only because the government subsidizes them to do so, which the trump administration started doing)
Trump's rant about windmills sounded retarded, but Joe Biden's policy declaration was actually retarded
Fracking does release a ton of CO2 by releasing benzenes which have a measurable effect on the health of communities within a few miles. One of the things that is measurable is birth defects.
I thought that was interesting when I wrote a paper on it for environmental chemistry in 2015 or so. I know that's not what he was meaning, but I thought it was interesting.
