As a stopgap solution to global warming, scientists have proposed capturing several billion tons of carbon dioxide from the air and injecting it deep into the earth for long-term storage. No one knows whether vast amounts of the greenhouse gas would stay put 2 miles below ground. Nevertheless, an increasing number of experts--including some environmentalists--believe the idea isn't as harebrained as it might sound." (CHICAGO TRIBUNE) This article considers the potential benefits and risks of carbon sequestration, noting that the "U.S. Department of Energy expanded funding to inspire state agencies, industries and universities to research and test the technique."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
