In a plan to sequester the carbon dioxide released from the burning of coal, a consortium of coal companies touting "near-zero emissions technology" is seeking massive governmental assistance to develop a means of capturing and storing emissions in a subterranium pipeline.1 The U.S. Department of Energy had already spent about $200 million on this ill-conceived project before withdrawing its support. However, the FutureGen Industrial Alliance has now hired former U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu to lobby the DOE to help finance the $1.7 billion price tag for what Tallowfuel.com believes to be a failed technology and a fraud upon the public.
