I'm all for CCS so long as public dollars aren't paying for it. The $/tonne of CO2 is just too high to justify.

I wonder if the CO2 will end up contaminating our ground water.

i think the concern is less with co2 contaminating our ground water per se (although there are some studies that document increased acidification in salt water) as much as it is with the potential accompanying leaching of contaminants such as heavy metals from adjacent rock and/or soils that would contaminate that ground water (in addition to the presumed re-release of co2 into the atmosphere).
this might be one of those short/medium term benefits having to be weighed against potential medium/long term liabilities. and who knows of what we perceive as liabilities today might actually turn out to be beneficial if those heavy metals etc. turn out to be recoverable and valuable (batteries are reliant on heavy metals such as nickel, cadmium, mercury and cobalt etc.).

Commercializing AI about more than tech transfer, Amii execs say
Canada was the first country in the world to have an AI strategy, and Edmonton has been central to it through the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii). But some critics say the strategy has focused too much on research and not enough on commercialization.

Hearing that Fluor will start mobilizing to this site within a year. Construction is expected to start within 2 years after their teams move from their LNG Canada project to this. Alberta Major Projects is saying 10B but the word is closer to 20B.
Imagine the 1000's of massively high paying construction jobs this will create...finally some good news around here...lol
