TR: What will it take to get sequestration projects built?
HH: Utilities are not going to build them unless the policy is in place or they are really sure that policy is imminent. It's easier to announce projects than build them.
TR: How about in the United States?
HH: In the next three years, the chances of anything happening are negligible. But within the next 10 years, I think the chances are greater than 50/50 that we'll have some kind of carbon policy. I think no matter who is elected in the 2008 election, there will be changes.
TR: You are organizing the next international conference, scheduled for November 2008 in Washington -- just after the presidential election. Is the timing and location a coincidence?
HH: It was more that hotels are easier to get in November than in September and October. But being at the time of a change in administration means it is going to be very visible. It will be important at the next meeting that this technology is ready to go. And hopefully policies will then be crafted so we can move ahead with deployment.
A project proves that millions of tons of the sequestered gas can be safely monitored.

Selling and trading the right to emit carbon dioxide is pimping. We must STOP emitting carbon dioxide as soon as it is technically feasible. The September Scientific American has a bunch of articles by hand wringing old duffers who think that we can do very little. We need to develop a can do spirit and develop fusion.

I have/am developing a New Crop/Process to produce Fuel Ethanol at ZERO Fossil Fuel/Energy
Inputs, but have been unable to get any or no support - my goal is
1000 gal/acre at <0.50$/gal and at Zero Fossil Inputs,, Dr Bellmer
OSU reported 'it works and works very well',, LFM, Knoxville, Iowa
I think the problem with fuel crops is that they use land that could be used for growing food. USA may currently have surplus food land but on a global scale and at the present rate of fuel consumption this will aggravate the rich/poor problem.
Manufacturing in the United States is in trouble. That's bad news not just for the country's economy but for the future of innovation.
