#1 I worked on a pilot plant to capture CO2. It takes a fourth power plant to run the process for the other three (existing ) plants. Then there ain't enough holes in the ground to dispose of the stuff. The cost of the fourth plant will be in your electric bill. The cost to dispose of it will be in your electric bill. The cost to regulate it will be in your electric bill.

..but its not a tax...

#2 Just plant a nice grove of trees around the power plant. They'll suck up the CO2 as they grow, grow faster because of it, and shade the solar panels during the summer when they aren't needed to heat the building. Win, win, win!

Whether geologic sequestration causes earthquakes has yet to be proven, same as fracking, right?
