amount of CO2. To pump just 10% of our carbon emissions
underground would require the same volume of liquid CO2 going
INTO the ground as what the worlds ENTIRE Oil Industry pumps in
crude oil OUT of the ground...EVERY YEAR! And those numbers look
worse and worse as coal consumption increases.      CCS
INCREASES the amount of coal a power station requires to produce
the same usable output by 33% or perhaps even 45%. So we have 33
- 45% more strip mines, water pollution and destroyed mountain
tops, just so we can continue our coal habit.      The only
reason coal is cheap is because the effects of the pollution it
generates isn't captured in its price. In the U.S., this
pollution destroys $2 via nega
