Despite strong opposition the carbon capture project for Lake Maurepas is moving forward

The controversial carbon capture project for Lake Maurepas, proposed by Air Products, involves storing carbon dioxide underground as part of a larger hydrogen production complex. Despite strong public opposition and concerns from local politicians about environmental risks like heavy metal resuspension and the effects of pipeline construction, the project is moving forward, as previous legislative efforts to stop it failed. Supporters point to potential economic benefits, such as job creation, and argue that the geology is ideal for safe storage. State Representative Kimberly Landry Coates joins Don Dubuc to talk about it.
