Sounds pretty expensive... probably won't be able to compete economically with a big shale play.

The infrastructure to capture, purify, compress and transport large quanitities of CO2 alone is going to be huge. People don't realize this with big CCS projects.

There's is plenty we could do, but you need to make a business case first.

We are already spending shit load to send CO2 underground in the capture projects. If this works, it will make capture project a lot more viable.

this will likely not have an impact on gas prices while you're alive.

Japan hopes to reduce the transformation period from billions to about 100 years.

I'm hoping that 100 years from now we wont be so reliant on natural gasses.

We might not, lots of the world will be.
