The latest installment of the ongoing seminar series on global decarbonization that I’m leading for India’s utility professionals under the auspices of the India Smart Grid Forum was on carbon capture and sequestration (CCS).

We’ve all seen the headlines, the antics, and the absurd protests that purport to raise awareness of the climate crisis by a group known as the Extinction Rebellion. They glue themselves to art.
