I have been looking into the deep storage methods for carbon and I believe these could be a really risk for increase erosion and pollutants of aquifers that may potentially be use-able in the future.

The national grid is not allowed to be a pathway.<BR/><BR/>Take a grand off everybody in the UK in taxes over the next ten years and you would have more then enough cash to pay for as many renewable energy installations as you can get.
