A funeral home under investigation and a contentious meeting over a carbon capture pipeline are some of the big stories in Illinois this week.

A climate change specialist and organizers who oppose two proposed CO2 capture pipelines talked about burying lines to Central Illinois.

In order to curb carbon emissions, some are proposing that we capture carbon from ethanol plants in the Midwest and ship the gas via pipelines into the sandstone in Illinois, but not everyone is on board. The 21st was joined by a reporter covering this issue and a geologist to talk about how these pipelines would work and the possible concerns.

Finley, with the Illinois State Geological Survey at the University of Illinois, says FutureGen, which recently lost its federal funding, would have been an important demonstration of clean-coal technology.
