There's no whole-of-government coordination of carbon capture & storage. Multiple agencies from DOE, EPA, IRS, PHMSA & ACOE have responsibilities for funding, permitting, & oversight yet there are startling disconnects between agencies & CCS programs. #NoRulesNoCO2Pipelines 🧵 Image For instance, the IRS is responsible for coordinating with @EPA to verify that the tax credits claimed by companies for CCS are valid.
