Your guest/caller who mentioned CO2 suppression and Nulcear energy have a fairly short-term perspective. What happens to the carbon that gets placed underground. Wouldn't it build up and eventually find its way to the surface? Also, what kind of embodied energy is involved in pumping it underground?
