(PREVIEW) Carbon Capture & Storage | Honest Government Ad
Dear Patrons
Here's the preview for our next Honest Government Ad!
This is part of our climate and energy policy series, in which we're singling out each of our Government's strategies for prolonging the fossil fuel era by doing as little as possible about the climate crisis (applies to many other governments too).
I'll share more thoughts about the topic when we publish the video, so I'll keep this short because I want to finish editing the video.
I was planning to publish this HGA today. Unfortunately on the weekend my head had a violent encounter with an overhead cupboard door which left me bleeding quite significantly with ongoing headaches. I'll go to the doctor and get it checked out soon - but first I need to get this HGA out! So if the video is only out in the first day or two of September, you know why.
In light of the above I'm sharing the preview with all of you so that everyone gets some new Juice before the end of the month.
(As always a reminder that this is just the audio track - some parts of it will only make sense when you can see the visuals!)
I'll catch you very soon with the finished video - either tomorrow or the day after.
Take care and watch out for those overhead cupboard doors.

Excellent work!
Many years ago I gave a speech at the Society of Engineers in Canberra in which I said, in an offhand manner, that CCS was "science fiction" — after my speech I opened the floor for questions and was inundated with CCS goons out and out stating that I was wrong / evil / an idiot etc for suggesting that. It took about ten minutes of return questions about their actual projects for them to grudgingly accept that no their CSS dreams were mostly only successful in very small test examples and none of them had actually been able to get it to work at any kind of real scale. That was over ten years ago though and I expect that some progress has actually been made since - but how much money has been pissed away that could have gone into proper renewable energy production. The Govt's totally corrupt way these days is just to find any excuse to push $$$ into their mate's pockets. Alas the opposition is almost as useless. I mean look at the Vic govt approving fracking at the 12 Apostles site for an example of that. I truly despair. So thanks for at least giving us a laugh as the world slides into chaos and oblivion.
While realising that there is a price for carbon going into the atmosphere. And sadly, we will all have to pay for it in the end. Those who are deepening their pockets over this sad opportunity have just forgotten the fact that we are all citizens of the world.
Good piece of work. Although I work in CCS, and I do believe there is something to do there (only because we have no other choice than combing a different solutions available). But we are at a point where we should only look at technologies readily available..
Oh wow I didn't know you worked in CCS! I really want this technology to work and I am especially hopeful about direct air capture CCS. But yes, totally agree with you about needing technologies that's ready to go right now - it's not like we don't have any!
Hope you didn't knock too much sense into yourself! Couple of quick suggestions below that you've prob. already incorporated: a) Add “… of our dollars” whenever referencing a $$$ amount being invested on our behalf? b) Supplement the “clean hydrogen” ref. with a pic of the PM & quote demonstrating he’s one of its key cheerleaders? eg. top of this page https://reneweconomy.com.au/morrison-dodges-net-zero-throws-cash-at-blue-hydrogen-and-ccs-instead/ alternatively there’s An-goose at para 4 here https://www.minister.industry.gov.au/ministers/taylor/media-releases/building-australias-hydrogen-industry-through-research-collaborations cheers (hope didn't post twice)
Thanks for the tips! That RN article is great I'll see if I can include it
Some spooky ghost sounds happening at 2:57. Love you work. Get your head checked!
Ah yes that's the tags on the music track they'll be gone once I purchase the licensed version! (You have good hearing!)
Excellent work, please take care and get that head looked at!!! :)
Thanks Sally :)
awesome work as usual Giordano. Ha ha ha, i do laugh at these Trolls (donald topping)
Cheers Jeremy - ihdk what Donald is doing here but hopefully he learns something
I watched a video last night that showed this so called climate crisis has been happening since the Earth was formed. In fact, droughts first started in the Triassic period, before dinosaurs, and change around about every 27.5 Million years. We are safe though, we still have around 20 million years to go before the next severe weather turn around. The moon is actually moving away from the earth at a rate of 1.52 inches per year. in another 100,000 years, the sun will push the moon back towards earth till it collides with earth. Climate changing has been happening since before human life existed, we have made no difference to the climate, and we never will, it is earth own nature setting the pace.
Well that definitely proves it to me. I don't know why we bother listening to the expert advice of hundreds of thousands of independent scientists, studying multiple fields of endeavour, for many decades of their lives, along with the warnings of every single science organisation on the planet - when we could have just watched a video and listened to the opinions of Donald.
Giordano, Lucy, Zoé and Ellen , you have become the faces and voice of honesty. Keep exposing these lies and distortions. Please let us know if you need more donations to sustain this vital work. You motivate people to act, you catalyse change by informing us to act when otherwise we wouldn’t. Thank you again.
Thanks Logan we are extremely grateful and happy with the support we receive from our Patrons - what we really need is more time to deal with all the shitfuckery! So glad you find our work helpful XO
Wow, that one is going to leave a mark (I hope to God), especially on the politicians who fund this obvious delay scheme. I laughed aloud at the visual image of Zoe or Ellen repeatedly punching the calculator for the inevitable Fuck All result. Thanks for naming the USA & Canada in the shitfuckery.
Yes this one will please the calculator fans XD Finally got to include Canada - more to come on that front
Holy crap! This one (yet again) is totally amazing! A great tutorial on CCS which needs more attention. Well, this will help a a shit-ton! Thanks for the preview; can't wait for the full blast!
I hope so! Thanks Dan
Oh… gawd, I can't wait for this one to be released! I can't applaud loudly enough! The utter shitfuckery of CCS needs to be exposed far and wide, for it's nothing more than a ploy by the fossil fools to make even more ching ching while the world burns. And I'm glad you mentioned energy wasteful H2 toward the end, which is yet another petrol ploy. They lie that it's "clean," simply so they can SELL it to you rather than letting you get your "fuel" for free from your rooftop. Oh, and I sure hope your head heals quickly! Did one of ScoMo's agents sneak in and leave that cupboard door open? Wouldn't put it past them at this point.
Thanks Mark, feeling a lot better today!
Absolutely superb, as always. I'm doing a video on the Blue Hydrogen Scam in a couple of weeks too. Good to see you're also calling it out for what it is.
Oh wow that's great Dave, please send me the link when you've published it I'd love to see it. I'm thinking of making an HGA dedicated especially to Blue H2, too.
Great well done!! love your work!
Thank you Stephanie and Simone <3
The video can wait! Get your head checked out first, please!
Thanks Joel - I'll go as soon as I can promise!
The idea you are literally bleeding over the keys to get this edited makes it even more urgent 😳
The bleeding has stopped thankfully!!
Be well soon Giordano. Good on you mate!
Thanks Charles :)
You are right on top of this; amazing. I only just heard The Energy Gang talking about the Cornell/Stanford study today. Take care. Keep it up ...and the doors closed
Oh wow that's good to know! (And yes, I actually removed that door entirely)
Well done, as always. Hope you heal quickly. BTW - We in the States would love an "Afghanistan explainer", should you be so inclined. :-)
I second this.
Omg, the doctor first. Edit later. Bought to you by the Department of Colonoscopy, Carbon, and Coal. Also check out Colon Creme, my favourite Japanese desert :P
Also Cupboards.
Well, this is depressing. Wonder what countermeasures are being made for when (as it seems likely to be) we go way over the final global temperature increase limit? I suspect humanity shall keep surviving as a species, buy it's probably gonna get more unpleasant in the next few decades...
Captured state and profit storage cool and normal, thanks to the Juice and take care Giordano
…… and its a global issue!
I'm so sorry to hear about your head! I do hope you feel better soon. Sounds like maybe a concussion?
Thanks for throwing light on this corrupt and morally vacuous nonsense.
It'll be interested to hear how things have moved on since this exceptionally explanatory 30 second video from 2008: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdHuB7Ovl2o
