There they are taking the process CO2, and pipeing it several hundered miles for sequestration in Canada. That is around a million Tons Per Year of CO2 if memory serves. <BR/><BR/>Wikipedia sez:<BR/>As of 2007, four industrial-scale storage projects are in operation.

I also think the US could do a better job by switching more vehicles from gasoline to low-sulfur diesel (with engine technology taking advantage of the new diesel fuel regulations), for fuel economy as well as environmental reasons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14463601.post-3274137763732125172007-12-06T13:01:00.000-06:002007-12-06T13:01:00.000-06:00Carbon capture MIGHT work, we don't know.

For the water we have sinks and wash basins, for the CO2 we have CO2 sequestering, a porven and used method of taking care of the problem.
