Trump Perry visit touts clean coal at Petra Nova Texas
Rick Perry spoke at the Petra Nova coal plant in Thompsons Texas praising carbon capture as a path to cleaner power. The plant, operational since January, captures CO2 and uses it for enhanced oil recovery before storage, funded largely under Obama and supported by stimulus grants. Critics note CCS is costly with limited near term impact and that Trump’s policies remain uncertain on climate. The project aims to sequester over 1 million tons annually, a fraction of global CO2 emissions.
