High CO2 emissions may be the only thing that keep N Dakota from freezing
during the coming ice age

Anyways the CO2 can be used to fertilize algae and make more oil out of
it.. think of it as a resource not a waste product.

The problem with these plants is the large expense to build them, and the
cost to borrow the money.. and then with the cost of oil fluctuating up and
down it does not help... lots of these ventures and ethanol plants will go
out of business with the current cost of oil.

It's no miracle cure to energy, particularly in the amount of CO2 it emits.
