What is truly unique about Schulz - Dornburg's work is her spot - on intuition about capturing the landmarks in peril, such as ancient sites of Palmyra before the Syrian war or lonely Soviet - era bus stops in Armenia, reminiscent of Bernd and Hilla Becher's work, but with an air of tenderness and mystery that is truly her own.

Even by keeping the door open for fossil CCS projects (if not mandating the technology outright), the EPA has provided an opportunity for utilities and project developers to build fossil energy with CCS projects, and hopefully pave the way for carbon removal CCS techniques such as bioenergy with CCS and direct air capture and storage in the future.
