Carbon Capture and Storage and Geologic Sequestration: Non-Feasible Options for the Management of CO2 Emissions

The Guardian talked to “The Carbon Capture and Storage Association (CCSA), which lobbies on behalf of the sector”:
Jeff Chapman, chief executive of the CCSA, believes Economides has made inappropriate assumptions about the science and geology. He believes the conclusions in the paper are wrong and says his views are backed up by rebuttals from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the Pacific Northwest National laboratory and the American Petroleum Institute.More>

Concerns about the environmental impact of nanoparticles

Kelly: Maybe in at least some of the cases, the new stuff that's going to evolve out of nanotechnology is potentially harmful to workers or to the environment or even to consumers. As it stands now, there is close to nothing...very little for government regulation of nanomaterials.
Narrator: As a result, at the Berkeley Lab, Kelly says they put into place very conservative controls and treat materials as if they're toxic...
Kelly: Even if we don't know if they're toxic, with the intent protecting people in the environment. Until we know for sure whether or not these materials are going to be hazardous.
