Does the brief history of carbon capture and sequestration (“CCS”) teach that we need to make wholesale changes in liability rules to make sure people do it right, or that we need favorable economic conditions within a normal liability framework to get people to do it at all? The arguments of Professors Adelman and Duncan proceed from the former notion; we submit the latter.

Fred Eames is a Partner with Hunton & Williams LLP in Washington, D.C. and represents clients on CCS issues. Scott Anderson is the Senior Policy Advisor in the Energy Program for Environmental Defense Fund in Austin, Texas.
