If you know of another disposal method for the 3 billion tons Carbon
Dioxide that is proposed to be captured from of coal fired energy plants
please post to the group so we all will know. Don't just say I don't know
what I am talking about.

There is one other way to handle it but that will create 7 billion
tons/year of metal salts that will have to be treated as toxic waste for
eternity. This could be more depending on the metal they used to react
with the carbon dioxide.

I have a degree in Chemistry and worked in the chemical industry for many
years so know my chemistry. I know federal disposal regulations for
chemical disposal. Can you tell me the educational basis for your
comments?

The current method of sequestering co2 is to pump it into underground
chambers left empty from oil deposits. A more long-term solution would be to
create calcium carbonate by pumping it through lime slurry, or use it to
grow simple plants (algaes) and create more oxygen, trapping the carbon in
the plants' cellulose. The algaes can then feed people and animals, and be
used as fertilizer for other food crops.

You can use 8 billion tons per year is this way?

What are you going to do with the lime slurry?
