...build, while retrofitting plants would mean major technological modifications. Estimates place the cost of electricity production at 30 to 40 percent higher with CCS than without. In Massachusetts, moreover, there is yet another barrier: CCS requires storage of liquefied CO2 in natural geological reservoirs, which don’t exist in New England. Pipelining liquefied CO2 out-of-state would be an infrastructural and financial challenge. Until technological improvements or a geological miracle significantly lowers the cost of CCS, both private-sector and public opinion will resist its implementation, even in green-minded Massachusetts. And in the meantime, gasification plants...

They would play live and compete with each other more than thirty years ago."
