    Mining oil shale impacts the environment it can damage the biological land and ecosystems. The thermal heating and combustion generate a lot of material and waste that includes carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas. Many environmentalists are against the production and usage of oil shale because it creates large amounts of greenhouse gasses.

    The film also follows the efforts of young members of Climate Ground Zero and Mountain Justice who participate in acts of civil disobedience to stop coal mining all together, surface and underground: chaining themselves to mining equipment, climbing giant cranes, and camping out at the tops of trees in mid-winter to stop Massey Energy from ...

  9. Carbon sequestration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_sequestration

    Geological sequestration refers to the storage of CO 2 underground in depleted oil and gas reservoirs, saline formations, or deep, coal beds unsuitable for mining. [106] Once CO 2 is captured from a point source, such as a cement factory, [107] it can be compressed to ≈100 bar into a supercritical fluid.
