We'll take all the greenhouse gases as pump them underground.<br /><br />Does anyone else see the problem here?<br /><br />Let's count carbon atoms... How many carbon atoms are coming up from the wells for every carbon atom they pump down the well? What do we do with those extracted carbon atoms? We convert them to CO2!
