At last after months of research and testing we have finally launched our new climate saving technology. Our EV-EON Unnaturally Carbonated Water could really save the day and let us keep burning the coal.
Londoners were given a rare treat today as we handed complementary bottles of EV-EON. It’s not often you get to save the world for free!
We started out in the shadow of the London Eye and although the weather was quite stormy we received a great reaction. Then under the watch of Big Ben the sun came out and gave us the opportunity to explain how the carbon capture process works. Finally the Houses of Parliament were visited to deliver the ‘message in the bottle’ that with Carbon Capture now in the bag it should give more coal power stations the go ahead.
Whilst there we came across some pesky students who were chanting against our proposed coal fired power station at Kingsnorth, so we interrupted and in front of the world’s media explained that it would all be ok because we now have the solution; carbon capture bottled water. They were so impressed they left happy as larry.
Our whistle stop tour ended in London’s most victorious of sites - Trafalgar Square. Despite having the great Nelson by our side we were swarmed by a savage crowd keen for a free climate saving thirst quencher.
Well done carbon capture and storage!
It’s official!!!
On 1st April we are launching our new fantastic, planet saving, coal burnt, Unnaturally Carbonated Water.
We will be in and around London taking in some of the most famous sights.
So keep an eye out for us…
Until carbon capture bottled water is a reality or until it is proven commercially viable to pipe carbon dioxide under ground we cannot allow new coal fired power stations to get the green light. Here’s what you can do:
Help expose the carbon capture and storage myth by forwarding this site to a friend and talking about it to everyone you know.
Come along to the August 2008 Camp for Climate Action that is being held at Kingsnorth, the site of E.on’s proposed new coal fired power station and make yourself count.
Demand a public enquiry. Say no to new coal. It only takes a minute. Its worth it in the long term!
Switch to an energy provider that doesn’t use fossil fuels, such as Good Energy, or urge your energy provider to support renewable energy (check out your provider’s fuel mix).
Discover the alternatives to coal and the pathway to a Zero Carbon Britain by 2027.
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) involves removing dangerous greenhouse gas emissions, like carbon dioxide, from the coal power generation process before it gets into the atmosphere.
The technology could be viable at some point in the future but…
“CCS is as yet unproven technology and we have to acknowledge there is some risk that safe and reliable CCS for power generation might not be proven or deployable at scale and at reasonable costs.”
- John Hutton, UK Energy Minister.
E.ON claims that its proposed coal fired power station at Kingsnorth will be CCS ‘ready’ so that the technology can be fitted later down the line. Yet whilst we wait for CCS to arrive, Kingsnorth will pump out millions of tonnes of carbon, none of which will be stored and all of which will be a massive driver of climate change.
The government says we must rapidly reduce our emissions yet is welcoming back coal with open arms for another 50 years of polluting whilst viable alternatives already exist.
The government has launched a competition for energy companies to win funding to build a CCS demonstration project - and E.ON is set to apply and would likely win. Yet E.ON’s Kingsnorth proposal is 4 times the size of the much smaller demonstration project being offered by the Government. This means that even if CCS does work 75% of the emissions would not have to be captured and would be released to go on and drive climate change.
Until Carbon Capture is a reality we cannot allow new coal power stations to be built and until then it must be seen as it is; green wash so good you could bottle it.
