Oil companies have funded research for decades to figure out how to store carbon dioxide pollution underground. The goal is to let people continue using traditional fuel, or at least that’s the supposed premise. ProPublica illustrates the challenges of this underground approach and how few results research has produced.
The aesthetics on this piece remind me of the segments on PBS kid shows that explain concepts. The cutouts and illustrations add a nice visual layer.
Also, it seems like we should focus our energy on solar generation instead of continuing with oil-as-usual.
