Moe attends Graham funeral; Boundary Dam CCS visit recalled

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe traveled to Washington, D.C., for the funeral of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, a longtime ally who visited the Boundary Dam carbon capture and storage project near Estevan in 2015. The visit put Saskatchewan's CCS technology on the global stage, though widespread adoption of similar projects in the U.S. did not follow due to high costs and shifting energy economics. Boundary Dam demonstrated that commercial-scale carbon capture could operate in a real-world setting, but falling natural gas prices and renewable growth changed the electricity landscape. The project remains a key reference point for CCS policy discussions, and Graham's support helped keep Saskatchewan in the international energy conversation. The article reflects on the mixed legacy of that 2015 tour and the enduring ties between the province and the late senator.
