strike>Clean Less dirty coal faces more struggles

The New York Times explains the latest issues, specifically talking about underground storage of carbon dioxide from a carbon-capture power plant:

Scientists need to figure out which kinds of rock and soil formations are best at holding carbon dioxide. They need to be sure the gas will not bubble back to the surface. They need to find optimal designs for new power plants so as to cut costs. And some complex legal questions need to be resolved, such as who would be liable if such a project polluted the groundwater or caused other damage far from the power plant.

Also, big utility companies are backing off on coal gasification, even.

Someone alert Barack Obama.
