Comment is free

Whilst crusing the internet I came across a news story on CCS with a surprising amount of comment:

Why we need CCS - whether you like the idea or not! - ABC news Australia.

I was struck by the number of people trying to demonise CCS, people who clearly didn't understand it.

It struck me - how many people have already made up their mind on something that they don't understand?
I bet it's very many - afterall it's very easy to blame something - you just call it dangerous, say it could kill peoples children then stand back and watch the fireworks.

People (understandably) will do the rest.

Greenpeace have been very successful in doing this for nuclear. I hope they don't succeed with coal.
