The Clash Between a Giant Coal Plant and Houston's Booming Suburbs

2. But it has "Carbon Capture"! That is, one of the Parish plant's boilers does! The CO2 is used to pump more oil!

It even operates, some of the time! It's green!!

EDIT

The Petra Nova carbon emissions reduction system cost approximately $1 billion to install, and received a nearly $190 million grant from the U.S. Government[9] under the Clean Coal Initiative, as well as a $250 million loan from the Japanese government. The increased oil recovery in the adjacent oil field was expected to result in a net savings. However, when the project was first proposed oil prices were very high (at $100 per barrel) and it was assumed that they would not drop. As of 2017, the current oil price was about $50 per barrel and therefore a net loss has resulted regarding the oil production at the field.[10] On May 1, 2020, NRG shut down Petra Nova, citing the low cost of oil as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[11]
