When a CO2 pipeline fails, it fails catastrophically, putting the lives of people at risk. Will there be a reckoning with safety as governments plot a massive expansion of CO2 pipes?

Given the poor track record and high cost of carbon capture and storage in the oil and gas sector to date, governments should think twice about their support for this technology.

For Shell, BP (previously self-branded as Beyond Petroleum) and Alberta’s Suncor, the glint of black gold has them riding the fossil fuel carousel rather than reaching for the gold transition ring.
