"She offered no details about what either fund would finance, beyond the budget's suggestion that the clean energy fund would be used to support carbon capture and storage projects, a technology that is being promoted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants and oil sands projects."

A lot of hype not much substance.

They seem obsessed with carbon capture and storage. Not that there is anything wrong with that in principal and their driveers for being obsessed are obvious. But any ground which has been fractured to increase oil and gas production is never going to adequately hold it. Their plan is to fill up the southern oil and gas fields with carbon, but realistically these fractured shallow fields will not hold it
