Quotes:A key to achieving this, Couch and other researchers say, is to capture the carbon dioxide and send it underground instead of releasing it into the atmosphere.

Many technologies now being developed are trying to perfect this so-called carbon-capture technique.

"To reduce [emissions] to zero, you've got to capture the carbon and stick it in the ground," Couch said.

comment: i like this idea i think it would be really cool if they come up with away to trap the carbon from getting in to the air. I also think if this is a good alternative for the environment and for the cost of everything that this would be a smart move to burn coal instead.

question: my question is what happens to the carbon if we do trap it underground is there any environmental problems that will come of this?

Nuclear power

Quotes:Yet, Brand points out: "Nuclear certainly has problems—accidents, waste storage, high construction costs, and the possible use of nuclear fuel for weapons." Most experts agree that such problems are no small drawback to forging ahead with new nukes. So despite shifting attitudes, atomic allergy has eased only slightly if at all among the bulk of prominent environmental leaders. Analysts also point to other problems, such as unresolved waste questions and limited public input on the whole issue of nuclear power.

"If you have a way to make electricity, then we say, make as much as you can."

"We can't go back, we can only go forward," said Swapnesh Malhotra, a spokesman for India's atomic energy department. "Life depends on energy, and I ask, where do we get it? We will get it somewhere."

comments: this article was a lot to take in and try to understand but after reading this it raises a lot of questions like what happens if it explodes what does that mean for all the citizens? When i was reading i realized that some people are just thinking about ways to make energy and not thinking about what that might mean in the future. we need to be thinking about what is best for the environment because when it comes down to it electricity wont even matter if the world is all polluted and horrible. i think the public needs to get more involved and that we can go back and find better ways to move forward and get energy from somewhere else. I don't say if we can make it make as much as we can i say if we can make it then find the best way to make it with out problems.

Question: if the public is not involved why is that is it because we are not informed about this topic?
