Carbon Capture: How the oil industry can help curb climate change

Carbon Capture is the process of storing CO2 in a place where it will not impact the atmosphere or the environment. The key issue is understanding how it actually works, and whether or not it is feasible or economically viable. By storing Carbon underground, the idea is to prevent the increase of atmospheric CO2 responsible for the global greenhouse effect. However, some critics think that this process will only help increase our dependence on fossil fuels and it will make commitments to emissions reduction irrelevant. Who is right? Is carbon capture a safe and sound method to eliminate excess CO2 or is it unrealistic, risky, and pointless like some claim?
