      very concerning to me. I already wrote Obama and encouraged others to do so. I am glad I live inland, in New England on a high hill. I am learning about geology and meteorology on my own. Has anyone done any studies on how much sequestration would cost and how much energy it would use itself? Seems to me that it doesn’t make much sense.
