An issue we should bury...

Hi All

Carbon dioxide should be disposed of the same way Earth gets it out of the biosphere - burial. There's enough metal oxides out there that can can make carbonates out of every bit of carbon we could possibly burn. By using energy recovery systems to make power out of steam turbine exhaust heat, a low temperature exhaust stream results that can be diverted over solutions of the oxides and the carbon dioxide locked up as carbonate. Coal can be then burnt at 60% efficiency and carbon dioxide locked away forever.
