Riiiight. Heck use this, it'll work just as good ya know...

Washington, May 25: Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) and burying it away underground, which has on paper been described as one of the most effective in cutting down on greenhouse gases, is moving closer to reality.
According to a report in Discovery News, the process, known as carbon capture and storage (CCS), has already been given the green signal by the US Department of Energy (DOE), with a funding of 126 million dollars for two large-scale carbon storage projects in California and the Midwest.
The DOE had previously announced 253.7 million dollars in funding for four others.
"The announcement of these two projects, making a total of six, each with a minimum of a million tons of CO2 injected underground, is a massive step forward," said Julio Friedmann of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore,

Exactly my thought. When one of these CO2 stores cracks from lack of CP or human error in general and floods the surrounding acres of land and kills a couple thousand people and all of the wildlife who will they blame?
Tax dollars already in play? That’s it, Game Over.
Hey, we can all just exhale into plastic Walmart bags, send them to DC and they can bury them! But what happens when plants aren’t making oxygen because they aren’t getting any CO2? We’ll have to wait until Al Gore figures it out.
Riiiight. Heck use this, it'll work just as good ya know...
Haven’t these idiots heard of “plants”? You know, trees, grass, chrysanthemums? Photosynthesis? Carbon dioxide and sunlight in, oxygen out? Grade school science, remember?
I don’t believe in anthropogenic Global Warming but I would love for these carbon sequestration devices to be successful at lowering the CO2 in the atmosphere, because it would kill the need to destroy our economy.
Al Gore would be inconsolable.
it would be better for the planet to bury the global warmists, with Al Gore first in line.
In the 1990s in an eruption, thousands of people sleeping in an nearby town died.
If we decide to sequester CO2 by forcing it into deep wells, we risk a similar future disaster if the wellhead is ever broken open.
Madness.
The idiots who push to bury CO2 in order to stop global warming remind me of King Canute trying to stop the tide from rising. At least King Canute was a decent king,
Missing from the debate so far is: water vapor and the role of the sun. But these two, taken together, vastly outweigh CO2 and methane. Any scientist, let alone politician or member of the MSM who is not interested in them has already told me they have signed on to an agenda of change.
Agenda first, evidence later! (Alice in Wonderland Rules, the Peer Reviewed Version)
That means they have to drill a hole? Why not start in ANWR?
Do not lose that thought! It is brilliant!
The CO2 acts to push the oil out of the ground into the well for easier extraction.
The CO2 that escapes then freezes in midair in chunks,falls to the ground and replenishes the melting Artic icepack.
Alright, the last sentence was pure BS, but you have to admit, it sounds good.
But your idea to bury the CO2 makes ANWR a twofer.

And there your have it. Money for nothing (and your chicks for free, hopefully).
