The technology is still a big improvement over current methods. Aemon Send a noteboard - 21/02/2013 05:01:31 PM
We already do a lot of carbon capture / sequestration (generally it's put into big underground reservoirs), so this technology doesn't introduce a new problem. Obviously we can't shove tons of CO2 underground forever, but if we're going to do it in the short term, it's still better to do so cheaply and efficiently. And I mean really, all this has to do is get us by until fusion power becomes economical, and that shouldn't be too difficult. After all, fusion is only 20 years away. ;)

This could mean great news for me personally Timthetrolloc - 20/02/2013 09:50:39 PM 1061 Views
I wonder if it could work on other fuels? Isaac - 20/02/2013 10:18:08 PM 1047 Views
Uh, not quite... HyogaRott - 21/02/2013 02:45:03 AM 876 Views
Do we also need our oceans to be 30% more acidic? *NM* Roland00 - 21/02/2013 03:40:19 AM 557 Views
But the CO2 levels in our atmosphere are 20% higher than 50 years ago Floffe - 21/02/2013 08:49:29 AM 1194 Views
There's a certain irony to being criticized on this one from that sector Isaac - 21/02/2013 05:37:37 PM 1147 Views

No problem *NM* Isaac - 21/02/2013 10:47:10 PM 454 Views
It seems pretty dubious. It still produces CO2. Ghavrel - 21/02/2013 10:02:55 AM 903 Views
i can think of three uses for excess CO2 moondog - 21/02/2013 03:16:42 PM 995 Views
Every single one of those increases atmospheric carbon. Ghavrel - 22/02/2013 12:39:00 AM 931 Views

Oh, I agree. My point is just that sequestration will remain an issue. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/02/2013 12:39:25 AM 438 Views
Well dense CO2 is easier to get rid of Isaac - 21/02/2013 06:08:33 PM 875 Views
Pretty sure putting it in the dirt would increase atmospheric levels, though. EDIT: Never mind. Ghavrel - 22/02/2013 12:40:38 AM 919 Views
Interesting. Bergioyn - 21/02/2013 09:57:27 AM 928 Views
Probably too little, too late. Dannymac - 21/02/2013 04:09:45 PM 1016 Views
The excessive regulation is on coal use, not production. HyogaRott - 21/02/2013 05:00:28 PM 941 Views
Nope. Dannymac - 25/02/2013 05:26:39 AM 911 Views
