Hello colleagues.
I imagine many of you have been following the developing news out of Illinois regarding leaks from ADM injection wells. Please amplify this news and more using the sample posts below. And here's an additional story on the leaks from Inside Climate News, which you can swap in for the Reuters link below. Thanks for all you do!

Important update on #carboncapture in Illinois: @ADMCorporate has paused its CCS project after discovering dangerous seepage from one of its wells. This follows previous concerns raised by the @EPA over ADM storing carbon in unauthorized zones.
This is yet another example of the dangers associated with #CCS — a false climate solution from #BigOil that puts our communities at risk (via @Reuters). https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/adm-pauses-co2-injection-carbon-capture-storage-site-after-finding-potential-2024-10-02/

The @EPA’s massive #carboncapture investment is based on assumptions that don’t hold up under scrutiny, overlooking serious questions about the costs, performance, and safety of #CCS.
As Dennis Wamsted writes in his @utilitydive op-ed: “CCS is the solution, but hearing more realism from advocates would be a helpful first step in discussing the subject.”
It’s up to us to speak out and demand climate solutions that are actually viable! https://www.utilitydive.com/news/doe-carbon-capture-storage-ccs-coal-gas/728014/

@CleanWaterAction and @AirAllianceHOU raise legitimate concerns about the growing #carboncapture industry in Texas in their op-ed for the @statesman. #CCS threatens local communities and groundwater and isn’t viable without taxpayers footing the bill.
Texas families deserve real climate solutions — not more giveaways to the #BigOil and gas industry. https://www.statesman.com/story/opinion/columns/guest/2024/09/23/texas-carbon-capture-giveaway-oil-and-gas-industry/75291372007/

“Texans should be wary of oil and gas companies that profit the most from causing #climatechange offering the silver bullet to stop it.”
@airallianceHOU’s @jenhada & @cleanh2oaction’s op-ed on #carboncapture is a must-read (via @statesman). https://www.statesman.com/story/opinion/columns/guest/2024/09/23/texas-carbon-capture-giveaway-oil-and-gas-industry/75291372007/
