The wonderful thing about burying CO2 is that nobody can tell you didn’t. If it leaks out, nobody can tell it did. If you can get paid for it, that’s the most wonderful thing.

CO2 is like nuclear plants in that way. When Rocky Flats had a big fire in their weapons plant, and plutonium fell all over the Denver suburbs, they just didn’t tell anyone about it.
