From the Kiplinger Letter, July 18,2008...
Greenhouse gas tombs will open by 2015, courtesy of new EPA rules due out next year. Likely candidate locations: W.Va., Colo., Utah and Wyo.
Burying carbon dioxide thousands of feet underground will help power companies, steelmakers and heavy industry meet coming CO2 limits. By 2025...200 repositories.
Burying CO2 will be less costly than having to buy carbon credits.
Sometimes I am embarassed to be part of the human race. Can anyone truly believe that burying CO2 does anything but postpone a serious problem? Mankind has proven to be very, very good at mortgaging the future (and the planet our children will inherit) for present rewards.
This idea is insane! The buried CO2 will find its way to the earth's surface. The only question is "when?"
The future ain't what it used to be. -- Yogi Berra
