DOE Pumps $126.6 Million Into Carbon Sequestration

Posted by samzenpus on from the out-of-sight-out-of-mind dept.

RickRussellTX writes "The DOE awarded $126.6 million in grants today to projects that will pump 1 million tons of CO2 into underground caverns at sites in California and Ohio. Environmental groups call carbon sequestration "a scam", claiming that it is too expensive and uncertain to be competitive with non-coal alternatives like wind and solar. I just hope nobody drops a Mentos down the wrong pipe."

    $126 Million looks like spare change compared to what the DOD (Department of War) is spending on Iraq Sequestration.

    Offtopic maybe, but do people get hit with local warming tax for driving around in big black sun absorbing heat radiating RVs?
