Malcolm,
Yes, I've heard it said that the best C sink is to "deep six" whole
logs. Or as they say in Jersey; "give 'em some concrete
gollashes". But the loss in biodiversity may offset the benefits.
I still think the best solution is to stop pumping it into the air in
the first place.
Malcolm,
Disclaimer: Please don't take any of this tirade personally. I am
venting my frustration with the press more than anything.
This statement that biofuels are combustables, and therefore give off
CO2, is a commonly promoted oversimplification, oft stated by less-
than-knowledgeable r

thats really what I was asking!
However, would it not be better if the plants (corn etc) was not burned
and re-released into the air? That would create a negative instead of
neutral effect!
Also, CO2 has many uses in itself, even if not converted to baking soda!
Just some thoughts (sort of prodd
