[Interview with Steven Chu] - The Daily Beast

I see game changers in carbon capture and sequestration. To meet the world’s climate goals, you’re going to have to capture carbon from virtually every stationary source...
...[Q] What chance do you give the energy legislation that Senators Graham, Kerry, and Lieberman are working on? Will it pass this year?

I’m a very bad bookmaker. But I think it’s very important to get the message out to all Americans that a comprehensive energy bill is a jobs bill. It is a bill that’s going to create the foundation for prosperity in the United States this year, next year and in the decades following. This is about international competition and who is going to lead in this new industrial revolution. This is what is at stake.  [Wait a minute--that's what's at stake?  What about saving our grandchildren from CO2-induced hellfire?!]
