Over the next two years, a team of scientists will try to inject carbon dioxide--charged water into the basalt beneath the ground through boreholes drilled by a nearby geothermal energy plant. The CO2 will, in theory, react with the porous rock and form a stable mineral that could remain in the rock for millions of years. If they're right, Iceland could not only render itself carbon neutral but also give the world a means of protection from the effects of CO2 emissions until they can be reduced...
...Department of Energy is funding seven research partnerships to test sequestration technologies. This summer, one of those projects will inject a modest 2,000 metric tons of CO2 into the sandstone subsurface beneath a spread of tomato fields near Thornton, Calif., where it would stay, in effect, forever...

...partnership had once seemed so promising. Both men shared the same vision and goal: to use technology to thrust General Motors boldly into the 21st century. When GM in 1984 bought Dallas-based Electronic Data Systems, the computer-services firm that Perot had founded, Smith was trying to inject high-tech know-how and a can-do spirit into a stodgy company. But the job of grafting an entrepreneurial operation onto a highly departmentalized, regimented and unionized organization proved to be more troublesome than anticipated...
...distressed as the White House may be over the apparent disarray in the House of Saud, it is just as reluctant to inject itself into an internal Saudi squabble or risk offending Bandar, who is close to the Bush family and others in the Administration.
