Whilst the energy poverty debate remains just that - a debate - and a firm commitment to carbon emission reduction is becoming more diluted with every pre-Copenhagen meeting and conference that takes place in the run up to next month, we continue to be fed the placebo that is carbon capture and storage (CCS).

In September we reported that American Electric Power's Mountaineer plant in New Haven, W.Va., was set to become the world's first commercial power plant to use carbon capture and storage. Now that facet of the Mountaineer operation is underway, with around 1.5 percent of the plant's CO2 emissions being captured and stored underground, reports ...
