As you know, here in NYS we have a “fracking ban” some company claimed they wanted to do “carbon capture” they would pump CO₂ into the Marcellus shale. As a side-effect of this “carbon capture" natural gas would be forced out of the shale, which (naturally) they would capture and sell, to help defray the costs of their “carbon capture” scheme.

"It’s not fracking!” (arguably true) “It’s ‘carbon capture!’” (It wasn’t.)
