Vaclav Smil, an energy expert at the University of Manitoba, has estimated that capturing and burying just 10 percent of the carbon dioxide emitted over a year from coal-fire plants at current rates would require moving volumes of compressed carbon dioxide greater than the total annual flow of oil worldwide — a massive undertaking requiring decades and trillions of dollars. "Beware of the scale," he stressed."

Coal fired power plants will be able to biologically transform carbon dioxide (CO2) they produce into methane (CH4 - natural gas-like). Dr Craig Venter says his team should have a GMO that efficiently turns CO2 into CH4 in less than two years. Clean coal, turning the CO2 into to FUEL (rather than burying it, which is impractical because of scale).
Watch the 15 minute Dr Craig Venter interview linked on my blog at www.myspace.com/dobermanmacleod - I've watched tens of thousands of hours of video, and this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen.
