Coal is a limited supply, so eliminating CO2 emissions are great but doesn't take us any closer to freedom from fossil fuels. It would be even cooler if the technique functioned on biomass like trees. Then we could leach the CO2 from the air with a vegetation, profitably pull the energy from it, and dump the ashes into our fields or an old mine, that would be negative emission rather than zero, and possibly make a very economically and ecologically sound policy, always a good thing.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

I wonder if it could work on other fuels?

But the CO2 levels in our atmosphere are 20% higher than 50 years ago

There's a certain irony to being criticized on this one from that sector

It seems pretty dubious. It still produces CO2.

The technology is still a big improvement over current methods.

Oh, I agree. My point is just that sequestration will remain an issue. *NM*

Well dense CO2 is easier to get rid of

Pretty sure putting it in the dirt would increase atmospheric levels, though. EDIT: Never mind.
