We could liquefy and cram our carbon dioxide emissions into the ground for some 500 years before America's geologic basins started to overflow with the stuff.
That's according to a new assessment by federal scientists, who spent years scouring America for porous rocks thousands of feet beneath the ground that might be appropriate for carbon sequestration.
They studied 36 geologic basins that could be suitable and found that the best region for storing waste CO2 would be the Gulf Coast.
Centuries Worth of CO2 Emissions Could Be Stored Underground, but at What Cost?
