The Chopping Block: Fish in a budget - FP Comment

On the Chopping Block: The federal carbon capture program.

Cumulative Budget saving to 2013-14: Possibly $2-billion; in 2013-14 fiscal year: at least $250-million.

The amount of federal and provincial money pouring into carbon capture technologies is hard to track. The idea, crazy as it may seem, is to capture carbon emissions from industrial and energy projects and store them somewhere, likely in vast underground facilities that costs billions to build. The whole idea is premised on climate change theory being valid and in the hope that, sometime, the value of the carbon captured can be sold on the carbon market for vast sums. With climate science in free fall and the Obama administration likely to store carbon trading in a deep vault for the next few years, there is clearly no need for Ottawa to continue to fund carbon sequestration.

Now, after ClimateGate and the raft of revelations regarding the hoax of climate catastrophe, carbon credit trading scams are an even sweeter deal for a con -- they're fraudulent from top to bottom.

Green technology and unemployment
