GE to Participate in World’s Biggest Carbon Capture Project

The "40,000 foot view", storing CO2 in any form is begging for a future catastrophic release, whether from earthquake or any geologic movement. Actually securing the storage area for even one years CO2 emissions from power plants in the world is the equivelent of 24 million railcars! If that amount of CO2 were suddenly released, the death toll would eclipse world wars. And, in reality, the volume required for any form of CO2 storage would be far greater than that noted above. Stockpiling CO2 and withholding it from photosynthesis could be the most self destructive activity man has yet to pursue.

GE to Participate in World’s Biggest Carbon Capture Project

For 100,000 kwh of electrical production, a nuclear plant produces 1 lb. of waste, which should be reprocessed into fuel. For the equivalent electrical production, coal would produce 400,000 lbs of CO2, and natural gas about 200,000 lbs, which some think should be concentrated and stored forever. 1 lb of radwaste or the equivalent of 4 tanker cars full of liquid CO2. If each is to be "sequestered" forever, how can CO2 sequestering ever be justified?

Cleantech Companies Will Stimulate Recovery

Social engineering is one thing. Stimulating economic recovery ALWAYS requires that one can make more of what someone wants for less than what it used to cost. Green things don't do that. If it requires more to make the same amount of energy, as all green initiatives I've seen do, it is in fact a drag on the economy.

Making more for less is the key to economic recovery.

Investing in Water - It's Not Just for Drinking

Dirty water + energy = clean water. We have plenty of dirty water.
