did we just get an insight into the future?, page-12

IMO - while the CCS tecnology is proven positive, the end cost impact per kWhr (i.e. our electricity bill) have not been fully calculated.

It's got to be 12 months before we see data from a proven trial plant of any real capacity. A coin flip will see if it's sustainable with the likes of CSG on a larger scale. The cap exp and lead time for installation on a large scale is of the order of many years - maybe up to 10 years away? (I'm not knocking CCS, just trying to get a timeline)

Where-as UCG/CBM/CSG/GTL's are up and running now as proven production. Still infants by all means, but time to market is more rapid - the merits of gas have alrady been estabished.

I see this good for the Energy inductry in general, in sustaining both technologies so it gives you a few baskets to put your eggs. A public nuclear debate is yet to happen, so coal and gas get to live another day ... with necessity being the mother of invention, this is a shining moment for both technologies.
