I seem to recall reading somewhere (The Atlantic?) that China ran this as an unintentional experiment during its boom years in terms of the growth of sulfuric acid from its new coal-fired power plants.

I’m in the GHG management industry and it’s sad to see the reality of cap and trade failures. Without a price on carbon, the worst offenders of GHG emissions will go unchecked and it will be up to carbon capture projects to reverse the damage. But again, without the carbon credit trading, the projects will amount to philanthropic operations, while industries and consumers are free to maintain their inefficiencies. Something’s got to give. Ending subsidies on oil is dramatics but at least achievable and will have predictable results. This in conjunction with a Kyoto protocol style commitment to putting a price on carbon makes more sense than spraying a deadly chemical by the millions of tons into the atmosphere.

The Case for Near-term Commercial Demonstration of the Integral Fast Reactor – . Real solutions for real problems. This may not be the only solution, but it is a much preferable one that has a long-term upwards bounding future for all of us.

Might want to fix the order on the city, province thing there: it’s Calgary, Alberta as it would be for, say, Memphis, Tennessee.
