Hydrogen energy is all the rage these days--even though it's unproven, and there's no evidence it will ever replace natural gas as a main fuel source. Indeed, there's plenty of evidence hydrogen will never fully replace gas (see Why 100% Hydrogen Will Never Power Your Home; Why Antis Hate H2). Wrapped up in the "hydrogen is the future of energy" debate is carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), sometimes called CCUS (carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration). In simple terms, CCS is capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from sources like burning oil and natural gas and storing it deep underground where it can't (please don't laugh) toast Mom Earth into a cinder, as the left insists is happening. To store CO2 underground, you must know where it can be safely and permanently done. The Pennsylvania Geological Survey and its partners are building a digital tool and testing hundreds of rock core samples to help others know where the safest places to store CO2 in the Keystone State are located.
