Obama the Oil man!

To clean up coal, Obama pushes more oil

I'd never heard of this one, interesting to use sequestered CO2 from Coal power plants to pump out more oil! Long article but interesting conundrum.

America's newest, most expensive coal-fired power plant is hailed as one of the cleanest on the planet, thanks to government-backed technology that removes carbon dioxide and keeps it out of the atmosphere.

But once the carbon is stripped away, it will be used to do something that is not so green at all.

It will extract oil.

Souunds like some common sense is creeping in... now lets build many more of these plants so we can utilize OUR OWN fuel.

I thought these quotes from the OP were interesting. Sounds sorta like Keystone? Or maybe not?

"The administration also did not evaluate the global warming emissions associated with the oil production when it proposed requiring power plants to capture carbon.

Administration officials counter by saying the oil was going to be extracted anyway, so the policy should only be seen as reducing carbon dioxide from coal plants.

The administration also promotes the benefits for energy security. Every barrel of oil produced here will mean one less produced abroad. "
