The Globe and Mail had a story on Nov 28, 2023 headlined: Alberta details new multibillion-dollar carbon capture support program
Globe is paywalled so I do not have a link, but the lede is thus: "Alberta has doubled-down on its support for carbon capture for emissions reduction with a new multibillion-dollar grant program for heavy industry, as the Premier and Ottawa trade barbs over Canada's green energy strategy ahead of the COP28 climate summit."
The story was accompanied by the following picture with the caption: "Pipes run through Shell's Quest Carbon Capture and Storage facility in Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., in October, 2021. TODD KOROL/REUTERS"

Being a slightly jaded cynical sceptic, I looked at the picture and wondered whether this was the start of a Potemkin Pipeline, which runs about 10 meters and stops, in the great tradition of Grigory Potemkin.
