The Growing Conservative Backlash Against Carbon Capture and Storage

The carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, long supported by oil companies and conservative leaders in Canada, is now facing opposition from right-wing groups like Canada Proud. The group's recent Facebook ads criticize CCS for environmental risks, including groundwater contamination and earthquakes. This backlash highlights a division between traditional conservative supporters of CCS and grassroots right-wing factions who view it as an unnecessary and harmful expense. Prominent figures like Jordan Peterson and U.S. politician Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have also voiced opposition. Despite this, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre continues to support CCS, creating political tensions as federal and provincial governments push for its implementation.
