Smokestack Fighting: Carbon Capture Promises to Slash Emissions, and Greens Hate It
Engineers at the University of Texas at Austin have designed a pioneering project to capture carbon dioxide emissions from the existing Mustang natural gas power plant in West Texas.

Biden’s ‘Gas Tax’ Is a Pain at the Pump
