Lack of Climate Bill Hinders Carbon Storage,
Fed Agencies Say
While the U.S. Department of Energy is funding 15 projects with the aim of safely and economically storing CO2 in geological formations, the lack of a climate bill is hindering any larger scale carbon storage, federal agencies said this week.

Clean Coal, Natural Gas Really Clean?
Environmentalists this week reacted with skepticism to recent support for clean coal and natural gas by Democratic Gov. Bill Ritter and gubernatorial candidate John Hickenlooper, in part, prompted by two Colorado firms winning $14 million in clean coal grants from the DOE.

Carbon Capture Quest Continues
While there remains much debate about the wisdom of pouring funds into removing CO2 from existing and future coal plants, rather than devoting funds to renewable, inherently clean sources of energy like wind and solar, any realistic assessment of the electricity needs of the next half-century concludes that coal will continue to be a major source of power.

Colorado Agriculture Must Go for Clean Energy
or EPA Will Rule
Bennet said he supports a market-based approach, which would allow producers to sequester carbon in the soil and then sell carbon credits to industries that emit things like carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.

Coal ‘Elephant’ Stalks Policy Debate
What they didn’t talk about at the Fort Collins forum, at least according to news accounts, was eliminating carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants. That’s a big omission: no amount of renewable-energy subsidies, replacement of gas-guzzlers with hybrid vehicles, or R&D on solar power technology is going to mitigate global climate change unless we do something about coal plants, existing and future.

Carbon is a Four-Letter Word:
A Treatise to Fuel the Flame (and by doing so, regrettably, discharge some CO2)
Here’s where the science, in some people’s minds, falters. In the big scheme of things, can a case sans reasonable doubt be made that fossil fueled electric generating plants are causing the Wilkins ice shelf to break off and float away? After all, 40% of 3.2% is just 1.3%.
