[Terrapreta] "unanticipated consequences"

[Michael Bailes]

Thanks Doug,
So do they think putting CO2 down a hole is going to be better?
With no unanticipated consequences?

'Big Oil' is acting a bit like the old dinosaur 'Big Tobacco'.
They have lots of holes they can pump CO2 into.

They just managed to con (Bribe?) the Oz Govt into a 60mil grant to
sequester CO2 from the new WA gas-fields. CO2 that they bring up with the
natural gas!!!
Poor broke oil companies.(Is there a smiliey for irony?)

Ethanol here is made from sugar cane which is probably a better ecological
proposition.
