Snippets From The Episode

"It is going to be incredibly difficult to make meaningful, progress in fighting climate change if CCS is not involved." - Loren Long
"The trend I think we're going to see on the transportation side is just shorter runs of the pipelines and looking for more localized solutions, which in a lot of ways is probably a better outcome anyway." -Loren Long
"It's just nearly impossible to build any pipeline without eminent domain. Buying right of way nowadays is tough!" -Brent Broussard
"I don't know how much CO2 relative to the big issue and how much we emit every year. I'm not sure it's a huge percentage that will be put into the ground in my lifetime. But I tell you what, I want to be a part of saying, "Look, I blazed the trail." - Loren Long
