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,

Definitely. Drill a hole in ANWR way underground.
:-)
The DOE has FIRED over 500 physicists and technicians at particle accelerators and fusion projects in order to fund this.
Amazing & unbelieveable!/sheesh
This is no joke.
Physicists are leaving the field all over the country now.
Undergrad and Grad students are changing majors.
SLAC laid off 200
FermiLab laid off 200
Cornell laid off 30+
DOE has abandoned support for ITER - Tokomak/ fusion.
The money that they are wasting on this CO2 garbage, or ethanol, would easily have allowed full funding of these important projects for the future.
Thanks! And, since dumping the ex, I've STOPPED losing it.
My next thought - once CO2 is gone, what will trees live on? Stupid humans.
And I have another. They can CAPTURE CO2? Why not stick those devices on every smokestack, tailpipe, animal and human being?
I want to see Algore testing it.
PING
How bout we make a few million capturing some CO2 in bovine fart bags and burying them in these lunatics’ backyards?
lol
Brilliant!!! :-)
I see a need for CO2 or lack of O2 First Alert alarms in every home and business.
