Recently, Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham proposed a plan to build within 10 years an experimental power plant that runs on coal but releases no carbon dioxide. The plant would extract nonpolluting hydrogen from water, and the hydrogen could be used to generate electricity or to power fuel cells for motor vehicles. The carbon dioxide produced as a waste would be captured and sequestered underground.

Sounds great. Yeah!!. Thumb in the air guess is its eff. is less than 10 percent and costs $1.50 a kilowatt.

What's so comical is that "sequestering" is exactly what's done with radioactive waste from nuclear power plants. What they're essentially proposing is the same kind of thing that the environmentalists have been fighting tooth and nail in the nuclear power industry.
