Waste Gas Want Not
This month's edition of Scientitic American has an article on carbon sequestration AEman says you might want to check out. This is essentially keeping carbon produced from power plants from reaching the atmosphere and potentially accelerating climate change. The SciAm piece focuses on one new technique, called carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS), where CO2 is removed from the waste gas of power plants, typically by absorbing it in a liquid, and subsequently burying it deep underground. Check it out and for the sake of those around you, please keep your own waste gas in check.
