Too bad enhanced oil recovery doesn't really help slow your global warming problem, since the carbon dioxide you bury is just about equal to the carbon dioxide from the oil you extract with it.

Tired wells can produce more oil if more pressure is added to the well or to the oil or whatever is supposed to happen when pressurized carbon dioxide is added.

Use electric cars, trucks and trains? For $750 million maybe even electric airplanes? ;-) Er, burn oil to make electricity? Use electric cars, trucks and trains?

For $750 million maybe even electric airplanes? ;-)

Why would anyone on this planet take anything OPEC says about fighting global warming seriously? Isn't that roughly like taking advice on resolving interpersonal conflicts from Dexter (the serial killer on Showtime's series of the same name)? Yowza.
