Is EPICC truly epic?

There's still lots of carbon in the Earth to be burned for energy, but some sectors are realizing that it might not be a good idea to let all the by-product CO2 into the atmosphere. (Some of the sectors not realizing this are the higher-functioning zones of Rick Perry's brain -- provided he has any of those -- and at least one-quarter of the currently configured GOP in America.)

The more enlightened sectors are considering utilizing the carbon underground and capturing the carbon in place. Will that work? Not if it leaks, but if it were feasible, it might help the coming energy crunch. And believe me, it is coming.

The concept is called Electricity Production with In-situ Carbon Capture = EPICC.
