Will taxpayers really be willing to pay the subsidies required for LCS? Every study I can find says there is a huge GP between what taxpayers are willing to pay vs the cost. Will the path we are going down with LCS be the undoing of ExxonMobil? What happens when the taxpayer money to prop up LCS stops when the cost is understood by taxpayers and we are left holding the bag?

Are you asking the same questions about wind and solar subsidies? Warren Buffet himself says the only reason to build wind is for the tax credits, and he’s correct.
I’m not saying it’s a good idea one way or the other, but it’s odd how you start a thread every week asking this question only about CCS.
