Ted, > What's wrong with cleaning up the air and water? Nothing is wrong with it. Just that there are viable options that would indeed clean up the air and water, but are off the table because of concerns over CO2 emissions. We go around and around on this issue and get nowhere. CO2 in limited quantities is good; in excess, its a greenhouse gas and a pollutant. Why is that so hard for you to understand? Gassification of coal is an excellent example. What do you know about the gassification of coal? It doesn't sound like you know the full story. Gassification produces noxious/toxic by products including large quantities of CO2 th at harm the environment. If the CO2 is allowed into the atmosphere, it will add to the pollution already there. So it has to be captured and stored......they call it sequestration. Some claim the oceans make a good spot; others suggest oil wells. No one is really sure of the effects on the ocean or whether the CO2 will remain in the wells or simply seep out over time. Then there is the cost....sequestration is expensive. You can pretend that CO2 pollution is non event but that would be a lie. It can not be ignored.
