Yeah the thing is that the sequestration takes more energy that we got before when we put it in. So I can see that we need it but its not effective until we essentially have carbon free energy serving all our needs and it would use the spare energy we don’t need. Until then we have to cover more and more of what we are using today with carbon free or (much better) reduce what we use.
That’s a fair concern. I hope that becomes less of an issue as we incorporate more sustainable energy but unfortunately it seems that coal and gas lobbyists don’t want to give up without a fight.
