Blind Freddie knows that it will be next to impossible to supply the demands of the world's resources and reduce carbon emissions at the same time.

Despite the fact that this appears to be a forbidden subject, why is carbon capture not high on the list of priorities.

We are heading for an economic melt down, especially if we increase our population, increase our tax income stream burden and reduce outputs, yet neither of the major parties seems the least bit interested in this subject. It appears to be in the TO HARD basket.

Is it not at least worth consideration?

rehctub, carbon capture is aready being done and it will get much, much more important. As well as sequestration, there's the ability to recycle the CO2 and CO into useful products, including polymers and even fuel!

Australian industry actually leads the world in this stuff, mostly because of the whole "clean coal" thing.

The biggest impediment is that there is simply so much CO2/CO produced that it massively exceeds the current capacity to use it. That's going to create new industries.

dont worry
you got the right buzzword
now to write the rest of your grant application

and govt will give you a tax credit
you can sell for half its cost to us the tax payer

and poor workmanship

well at least this will minimise
the cost of bying solar BACK

we gotta stop these scames..[scemes]
and the delusion of green jobs[yesterdays headline]

the scam is slowly devolving
why are we subsidising the carbon price
for double the 'market rate'

heck i just coped a lecture from belly
who ignored my proof of an after life
by calling me a liar..cause im a warming denier
refuses to even look at a link[but heck he isnt alone]

we all have

clubber..man

the more we pay..in taxes
the more you will be paying..in wages

think about it

One of the problems seems to be the cost addition onto electricity.
I gather one of the problems is that the sequestration places are not
near the power stations and require pipelines and pumps.
All that increases the CO2 level.

The processes that antisceptic mentioned have been suggested but I have
not seen any report that they are economic.

Most politicians, greens excepted, probably run away for anything that
will push up electricity prices.
I suspect that it might be another catch 22.

Rehtub, there is far more going on in this field then you might
think or be aware of. Its just not on the front page of your
newspaper.

Some of the world's brightest money and brains are working on it.
People like Richard Branson, Bill Gates and Craig Ventor are
placing their bets on algae, backed by the US Navy, which wants
a fuel solution for its ships and planes.

What limits algae growth in a large enough scale to produce cheap
fuel is in fact CO2. So it makes perfect sense to take CO2 from
something like a power station and use it to create algae based
biofuel on a massive scale.

Some small scale operations are working on it in Australia too.
Last time I checked, IIRC the Smorgons were backing it here.
