  Good one Jeff,

  I hear concerns that China and other "developing" countries are planning to
  build a lot of coal power plants spewing carbon dioxide into the air. Why
  the concern? They can dig it up and burn it. The "developed" countries can
  capture it and sequester it while building up their soil bases. The rich get
  richer. The poor get poorer. How's that for a foxy plan? Don't tell anyone.

          (in regards to mining coal)

  This is an easy one Tom...... Just leave the coal in the ground.... It was 
  already sequestered!

  Think of all the fuel saved by not digging the stuff up.....
