Pumping Oil Using Coal in Colorado

In what Treehugger writer John Laumer calls the Climate Trifecta," Bullion Monarch Mining Co., is proposing to produce oil from oil shale using coal gasification, which they label as a "clean coal" technology. 

In Bullion's release they state that the project will have "CO2 sequestering capabilities." This, of course, is different than actually capturing and storing the heat-trapping gases that are the cause of climate change. 

I emailed Bullion Monarch 2 days ago asking when they expect to begin capturing and stroring the greenhouse gas their operationwill produce and they have not replied.
