Where is "sequestered" CO2 near a nuclear plant? As I said, they
build these things far from cities, and also far from fossil fuel
plants. Or are you suggesting they should pipe CO2 from a fossil fuel
plant a few hundred kilometers away? That might work. I suppose it
does not take much energy to pump the gas.
I must say though, I would much prefer to see them tear down the
coal-fueled plants and build nuclear plants or wind turbines. I
suppose you can pump CO2 from natural gas-fired plants, which will be
with us for a long time to come, alas.
