I agree with Dr. Deane. In the absence of certain people, including officials from the Department, he is the closest thing I can get to someone against whom I might be able to argue. I say that on the basis of some of the analysis he has done. I agree with his analysis that this infrastructure is not needed. I would like to debunk the alternative argument, which is that CCS can be used to mitigate some of the climate impacts of this infrastructure. I understand that if such an approach is taken, an appropriate CCS facility will be near the landing point for the gas, or certainly near the power station.
