My first day in the carbon-sequestering group went well. The technology is proprietary so I cannot share it with this group. I can, however, share some items. In the year 2020 all power plants will be required to sequester their carbon emissions. They will be required to capture 90% of the emitted carbon. There are many technologies to capture carbon. The ones that can capture carbon at a 90% rate are very capital and energy intensive. Capital costs could equal the cost of the original generating plant. Energy costs could reach 30% of generation. Efforts are underway to reduce these costs. There does not appear to be an easy way out. The company I work for has the only working, in operation, technology in North America. That's good. I do not know how the utilities and rate payers are going to be able to sustain these costs. Perhaps a goal of 25% capture would be more viable. I am still learning and studying this stuff. Jed we need cold fusion now please. Frank Z
