Reject Carbon Capture and Storage for AI Data Centers

AI data centers have pointed to carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies as techniques to reduce emissions for their energy infrastructure. CCS and direct air capture (DAC) technologies are propped up by the fossil fuel industry to artificially extend their lifespan. These technologies require significant energy use, negatively impact public health, and remain unproven. Congress should also roll back the 45Q federal tax credit to stop subsidizing these false solutions.1
