Not only is @Shell’s massive #petrochemical Plant in Pennsylvania:

🚨 Problematic
📉Underperforming
🏭 Violating air permits
💰It’s wildly over budget, according to latest earnings call.

📉 A bad outlook for mega-polluting mega complexes.

Only a handful of govts are blocking progress on the global #plasticstreaty but failure will belong to everyone. With just a few hours to go, we need @ShintaroIto205 @s_guilbeault @Teresaribera @State_E @SteffiLemke @BjellandEriksen to speak up for tackling plastic production.

📢 Just released! Our new report, “Deep Trouble: The Risks of Offshore Carbon Capture and Storage,” exposes the risks of storing carbon beneath the ocean floor. 🌊

Dive in and find out why #OffshoreCCS is no solution to #FossilFuel pollution. 🛢️

A major CO2 pipeline canceled after @WeAreOxy quietly ditched the world’s biggest carbon capture plant (for a fraction of its build cost). The viability of carbon capture technology continues to be called into question. Read: https://t.co/gXXrJTkkVn

📢Some exciting professional news: 📢

I recently started as Legal and Research Manager for the Fossil Economy Team at @ciel_tweets!

I'm excited to work with this new team to confront the buildout of petrochemicals, CCS, and the other tendrils of the fossil economy.

[Steven Feit @FeitingWords]

These three are U.S.-focused, but we have one more global position on the team. We are looking for a Senior Campaigner to grow and deepen our work to address the increasing threat posed by geoengineering.

"Any climate plan that is premised on offsets, CCS & excludes [downstream] emissions is bound to fail. It’s clear that net zero as a framework opens the door for claims of climate action while continuing with business as usual,” — CIEL's @FeitingWords.

Carbon Capture & Storage #CCS can be complicated.
As the @GlobalCCS’s Forum on CCS starts in Washington, DC, CIEL's @FeitingWords reminds us what CCS is & isn't.
Spoiler alert: CCS should be understood as a lifeline to #FossilFuels, NOT a climate solution: https://t.co/PWFreYIS9E

[Steven Feit @FeitingWords]

CCS can be a complicated topic [🤫learn more in our FAQ].

Bottom line: despite all the hype, CCS locks in place the very sources of emissions we need to transition away from.

CCS should be understood as a lifeline to fossil fuels, NOT a climate solution.

Today is @GlobalCCS’s Forum on Carbon Capture and Storage [CCS] in Washington, DC. What better time for a refresh about what #CCS is (and is not)? A thread 🧵👇

[Steven Feit @FeitingWords]

And overall, despite its presence in some modeled scenarios, the IPCC warns repeatedly that relying on #CCS is:
⚠️ Risky,
⚠️ ncertain, and
⚠️Dangerous
