These are the core of the UCP base.

I mean, worrying about the environmental effects of removing CO2 is stupid.
But if someone was building a CO2 storage facility near me I'd have questions. Specifically, I'd want to see the work on the caprock they were using for isolation. Because little bits of CO2 in the atmosphere are bad for the climate, but a big rush of CO2 is not good for people at all. I wouldn't want to live somewhere where Lake Nyos could happen...
