[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3294545, member: 63706"] Under the fossil fuel theory all that carbon was in the atmosphere at one point anyway. Sequestering carbon decreases the energy effeciency of burning hydrocarbons by 50 to 75%. With some of the methods being considered, failures of the sequestering system could be lethal to anything living nearby. I personally like the approach of recycling carbon out of the atmosphere into new, usable, hydrocarbons. If this technology could replace pulling hydrocarbons out of the ground, we could reach an equilibrium in carbon emissions and stabilize carbondioxide concentration in the atmosphere.
