Wyoming governor’s speech erupts into fight over future of fossil fuels, carbon captureTo reach the International Energy Agency's carbon-reduction targets 70 to 100 carbon capture facilities will have to come online every year for the next 27 years. Installing the technology on a single power station in Wyoming would cost nearly $468 million. When challenged to debate his facts the gov ran away. After Fox News reported on Gordon’s comments at Harvard, the Wyoming Freedom Caucus legislators and the Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray signed a letter challenging Gordon to a debate with members of the CO2 Coalition. The coalition is a nonprofit organization that disputes that carbon dioxide is the primary cause of rising temperatures and that increases in CO2 are without benefits. These benefits, the group argues, include global greening, a phenomenon confirmed by NASA in which plant life globally is being stimulated as a result of increased concentrations of greenhouse gasses. Its leadership includes a number of scientists, such as Dr. John Clauser, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2022. “While climate alarmists claim to act “based on the science,” oddly they do not encourage or join in debate with those who have different views. We believe that in Wyoming, we are better than that,” the letter challenging Gordon to a debate stated. The governor initially agreed to the debate. Michael Pearlman, a spokesman for Gordon, told Cowboy State Daily that Gordon was “happy to entertain an opportunity to present his position on carbon capture and storage in a public forum focused on finding solutions to keeping core industries viable.” Gordon then backed out of the debate on Tuesday.
