"U of U Researchers Hoping to Pump CO2 Underground"

"Could Utah's oil and gas fields be the solution to Global Warming?... They hope to pump carbon dioxide deep into the ground and store it for centuries under existing oil and gas fields...
Numerous underground storage tests are gearing up. If it works, Utah oil and gas fields may have the best geology for carbon storage. University researchers hope to begin injecting carbon into the ground about a month from now, in that first major U.S. test.


I am impressed that, with all the debate raging, this state is forging ahead and trying out a real solution. Who knows if it will work...but I love that they are taking action instead of just talking.
