Global Warming & The Future of Coal - High Tech New Plants

The Center for American Progress decided to go for the coal technology route and describes how the CO2 extraction process works in their plan to utilize the vast coal deposits in America.

I personally find it disturbing for a few reasons:

1.) What is the long term effect to the planet of storing vast amounts of gaseous CO2 10,000 feet below the surface?

2.) I recently signed a petition to help protest against the displacement of one of the last Indian reservations in Kentucky because they want to mine for coal at that location. Will our Govt. look out for these native Americans or will history repeat itself?

3.) In Richmond, Va. a school is being closed in order to mine for coal at that location. Protestors arrested.

Will this industry be laying claim to any location where coal exists? I remember Pelosi stated that there were 12 different plans on CSPAN. What are the other options she's referring to?
