But it should be the market and investors that choose investments, not the government. The government is notorious for making poor guesses on technology that frequently turn out to be expesive boondoggles that benefit only a few insiders. The government should focus on dispersing information, cleaning up its own tremendous energy waste, deregulating utilities and energy markets to enecourage efficiency, negotiating an international climate deal, setting up a system that will create market pricing signals for GHG emissions and sequestration - and get ready for adaptation challenges that are here and coming. Once a pricing system is im place investors will have plenty of incentives to investigate and invest in sequestration and carbon capture.
