60 Minutes (again), Carbon Sequestration & Algae

Posted by Lori Gist at 10:02 PM
60 Minutes tonight featured Duke's Jim Rogers (see my 7/4/08 post), and carbon sequestration:

I believe underground carbon sequestration is and probably always will be too expensive.

I'm more excited about the prospects for biological methods of sequestration. We can grow CO2 hungry algae that doubles as an energy-rich biofuel. A little like Soylent Green, but friendlier.

But growing enough algae to completely substitute our liquid fuel use would not even require more than 10% of the CO2 emissions from power plants burning coal in this country. Not really a solution for CO2 sequestration in my opinion.
