When I worked in a coal-fired power plant as a teen, I saw them strip mine the #Alberta prairies. The bottom ash, and some of the fly ash would be hauled back to the pit before being covered over. I think of that process when I see #bigoil talk about #carboncapture. After burning everything in sight, they try to capture some of it and bury the remains, and say “good as new”. There are better ways. Our goal should be to disturb nature as little as possible.
