  1. Jasper the Black Lab from Vancouver, Canada writes: CO2 sequestration is a great idea, but why should the Government spend $240 Million to do it? Simply force the oil companies to do it on their coin through a carbon tax / carbon credits plan.
  2. Saskatchewan Seal Hunter Club from Canada writes: Great idea. Iv'e been in the area were they are doing this, and have seen the Chinese, Japanese and other countries comming to have a look at the system.

    Maybe SASK won't bother doing nuclear then.

    I believe Sask also dropped a lawsuit over "equalization" payments.

    Everybody's watching this one as there are plans for heavy use of this tech in Alberta, just as soon as we can find some pipe,labor and equipment once the standards and reservoir parameters are figured out.
