A not insignificant fact is that the volume of CO2 emissions from US
electric generation stations in 2005 exceeded 268 cubic miles. Then,
add the CO2 emissions from the proposed 154 coal fired plants with a
combined 93 GW of net generating capacity. And, finally pump that
volume into the earth every year.
Is sequestration in deep geologic formations a remedy for sea level
rise?
