Peter: Carbon sequestration is a term that allwos a Premier in Western Canada because of a potential future solution. The truth of the matter, is every time they have tried it, there have been leaks back into the atmosphere. I don't think people appreciate the magnitude of this problem. Globally we release 82 million tons of carbon into the atmosphere every day. Mother nature is storing this stuff quite nicely by herself. If we pry it out of the earth and attempt to separate the carbon and put it back in the ground, we would soon run out of places to put it and keeping it all sealed up would become a hugely difficult problem.The oil companies would shut down the oil sands immediately if a competitive bio fuel came on stream and they would probably be the ones to produce it. But there are no market pressures yet.The US Dept of Defense have been doing a lot of work on cheaper bio fuels but nothing has really worked out. A carbon tax would help shift the market pressures toward bio fuel but it needs a lot more development. Probably the carbon tax revenues could be used initially to support more biofuel research.The weird thing is we have green solutions for producing electricity (nuclear is probably best) but there is still a big lobby for Combined Heat and Power with natural gas. Fortunately NIMBY has made that one a little hard to get off the ground too.
