A Landscape of Lies.

The article "A Landscape of Lies" explores the author's childhood in a North Dakota coal town, where a manmade reservoir, Nelson Lake, never freezes due to water being pumped in to cool coal-fired turbine engines. The town's power plant is now a test site for carbon capture and storage technology, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions but facing challenges and uncertainties. The technology's potential implications include linking Big Ag to the fossil fuel industry and facilitating further fracking, raising questions about the sustainability and environmental impact of such developments.
