The point so many have missed and are missing is that the protesters

Probably because whatever they did with the carbon they sequestered
some bunch of unwashed tree huggers would show up and protest about it
- polluting the water table , poisoning some beetle or whatever they
dreamt up when smoking a toke in the teepee.

application in the first place. Even carbon efficient power stations
emit far more carbon than gas plants.

Err , a gas plant is a power station. And given the current gas supply
situation at the moment don't be surprised if power companies start
climbing over each other to build new coal fired plants to replace the
gas fired ones that might soon be out of fuel. But hey , I hope you
and all your lefty hippy CND buddies are happy you effectively killed
the UK nuclear power industry - the only viable alternative power
source - over the last 30 years with your cold war paranoia and loud
mouthed misleading "facts". Nice one. Fscking eegits.
