Where you at this year's MEGA?

Currently costs of removing CO2 from a coal-fired plant is about $1300/kW-hr which is ridiculous. Plus, the largest scale test facilities out there are about 5 MW and the CO2 scrubber is HUGE! I can't imagine what the size of the scrubber would have to be for my 800 MW plant!!

We had some reps there. I'm just a lowly patent attorney, so I don't get to hang with the cool kids. They just bring me out of my supercube when scary shit needs to be dealt with.

Who quoted you those energy numbers? Using what tech?
