Fracked Shale Could Sequester Carbon Dioxide 235

MTorrice writes "The same wells that energy companies drill to extract natural gas from shale formations could become repositories to store large quantities of carbon dioxide. A new computer model suggests that wells in the Marcellus shale, a 600-sq-mile formation in the northeastern U.S. that is a hotbed for gas extraction, could store half the CO2 emitted by the country's power plants from now until 2030."

    Not true, you liberals are f-ing dirty. Complain about endless oil wars and clean energy and you have something that will help start eliminating everything you bitch about and still you complain. Cry bitches, and stop using power and man up and put your ideals where it counts. The day I see some green loser give up power and everything else they insist destroys the environment is the day I believe a word out of their lying stupid mouths. Damn this site is not news for nerds but propaganda to feed the ignorance.
