In doing so that gives the industry another 15 years or so of mining and burning coal without worrying about the consequences. Everybody might not agree storage is a good thing but everybody agrees it will be quite a few years before CCS is even a possibility. If it can even be done. All the clean coal talk is not worth the time taken to talk about it without CCS - but it sure sounds good and that is the point. Experts say we need to start reducing greenhouse gases by 2015 to curb the effects of global warming and the earliest date I have seen for CCS is 2020 and have seen estimates from 2030 to 2050. I don't think we will ever have to worry about the carbon escaping from the ground because I don't believe it will ever be stored. Amending this comment - I should have said I don't believe CCS will ever happen on a power plant scale.

Why would anyone advocate that method of storage if they knew the risks. As you so accurately said, anything manmade can fail. Wow, I didn’t know about that.
