Britain Backs Plan to Store Carbon Dioxide Under the Sea
www.nytimes.com
Two proposals in Northern England, led by the energy giants BP and Eni, aim to establish an industry in burying emissions from industrial plants.

This appears to be aimed at subsidizing the construction of a gas-burning power plant, rather than achieving a reduction in net CO2 emissions

    The wonderful thing about burying CO2 is that nobody can tell you didn’t. If it leaks out, nobody can tell it did. If you can get paid for it, that’s the most wonderful thing.

    CO2 is like nuclear plants in that way. When Rocky Flats had a big fire in their weapons plant, and plutonium fell all over the Denver suburbs, they just didn’t tell anyone about it.
