Carbon Sequestration

[Padraic]

I heard an interesting program on carbon sequestration.

Have you seen any articles that estimate the increased cost of electricity generated with coal where CO2 is sequestered?

 

[Padraic]

No not yet. If I do, I'll post one as a reply to this thread. I'm sure the technology is (at this time) rather expensive.

I think the benefit will eventually out weight the cost...people always say we can't do this or that because its too expensive...then they pay twice as much later to clean up the effects of what they could have prevented in the first place...


imagine the money that could have been saved cleaning up AMD if they had spent some money to prevent it...not to mention the increased number of fishable streams that would be available.

And who's paying to clean it up..you and I with tax money...they don't want to pay for clean emissions because someday they know they can just pack up and leave and let the government (you and my tax dollars) pay to clean up their mess.
