HOUSTON — It’s Earth Day, and there’s a massive new plan to help clean up the air beginning along Houston’s refinery-rich Ship Channel.
“This solution is part of what we have to face,” said KHOU 11 energy expert Ed Hirs.
We're talking about a $100 billion proposal by ExxonMobil.
Basically, a facility would be built to collect emissions from refineries, petrochemical plants and other facilities and then store the carbon in a reservoir thousands of feet below the Gulf of Mexico.
