<<CO2 has been on the boil since my time in the early 1980s on these matters. I even invented a now-patented method [by Mitsubishi] to prevent the Greenhouse Effect = compression of CO2 from power stations to liquid and piping it 400 metres [or more] below sea level [to get sufficient pressure to keep it a liquid, using the fall to generate electricity]. >>

Sounds energy intensive..to get it to liquid,and then a 400 metre drop, thru a turbine I suppose, located as close to the bottom of pipe as possible to take advantage of that head, then what happens at about 36 atmospheres?? Where would it go?If sea water was encountered would it make any attempt to foil your plan?What would the EROEI be?
Might be better plan to get electricity out of everything that falls presently, seeing as how it would be almost free and earth is cooling and not warming as you suggest<g>Or do you?

Curious why your depth factor has increased by 100 meters as the thread has progressed.

It started at 400 and now you use 500.

Is 600 on the horizon, or is this simply a rounding issue?
