Canadian company can solve man made climate change, no carbon taxes or useless wind and solar required

Occidental plans up to $1 bln for facility to capture carbon from air

HOUSTON, March 23 (Reuters) - Occidental Petroleum (OXY.N) on Wednesday outlined plans to advance its clean energy transition business, including spending between $800 million and $1 billion on a facility to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air.



The proposed facility, the world's largest direct air capture (DAC) project, is set to begin construction in the second half of this year in the Permian basin, the largest U.S. oilfield, with a start in 2024.



The U.S. oil and gas producer is aiming to build a profitable business from providing services and technologies that pull CO2 out of the air and burying it underground to advance government and business climate mitigation goals.

While the Federal Government pretends that solar panels and wind turbines will provide enough for our energy needs, the Government of Saskatchewan is moving ahead with small modular nuclear reactors. Part of a realistic approach to the future!



Sask. launches strategic plan for nuclear energy generation

Saskatchewan launched a strategic plan for a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) strategic plan in partnership with Ontario, New Brunswick and Alberta.



The plan would make it possible for the province to make the switch to nuclear power down the road when the need transition to zero emission electrical generation arises.



SaskPower said now is the time as SMRs are advancing and have become a better fit for small grids like Saskatchewan's.



In 2019, Saskatchewan signed an agreement with Ontario and New Brunswick toward evaluation of new SMR technology, with Alberta joining in 2021.



If the province decides to go ahead with the construction of an SMR, SaskPower will make the decision to add additional units, such as micro-SMRs, which can be used to power remote communities, mine sites and provide district heating.



The province is capable of having two SMRs, but the focus is currently on one with the goal of it being operational by 2034.



Site selection is also part of the process for this year.



Saskatchewan is one of the world's largest producers of Uranium, and Cameco Corporations intends to be a fuel supplier of choice if the SMR is built.

Solar panels, and wind turbines produce extremely costly energy. The biggest problems with them being actually generating the energy, and then storing it. Compared to Nuclear and Natural gas which have extremely minimal generation costs.

If we can combine Carbon Tech with our already best in the world energy, we'd be able to get ourselves to net-zero without having to destroy our economy and our lives with a costly and dangerous "transition" to supplementary energies.
