I do not believe that this proposal is safe. The unproven technology being used will have minimal effects on CO2 levels being taken out of the atmosphere but maximum opportunity to kill people if it goes wrong. The proposed venting has the potential to kill me and my family which is also the case if the pipeline carrying the CO2 ruptures within 15 kilometres of my home. The pipeline is not being buried to a sufficiently safe depth, as modern ploughing methods could easily see a potential for pipeline damage. The phrase "Their profits our lives" seems to sum up this unproven, unsafe, untested and unwanted proposal.
