This is a very interesting concept. If it is cost neutral (or better yet, negative) it should be no problem convincing all the coal fired plants in the world to adopt it.

Today's pop music and most movies being what they are, CO-2 is an excellent medium for them. Hydrogen sulfide or carbon monoxide would be better ones.

But that's encouraging, if the smokestacks would go along with it. I confess to be a bit cynical toward that end; they seem to love the status quo and might be loath to change it.

It's a fantastic concept, but I tend to agree with Filth, greed being what it is, many industrial polluters won't spend the small sums necessary to isolate their CO2 emissions - it will take federal coercion, which we may get with a new non-McCain administration and a liberal leaning Congress!
