I think what I'm after is this; if there was a way to recombine C02 with a another element into a solid, more than likely not carbon (especially after reading your post), I would think it would be easier to manage and therefore, easier to store and or reused, in this new form, as something else entirely.

Since I'm no chemist, and certainly don't pretend to be one, I'm just kind of poking around and trying to maybe inspire a new way of thinking.

My rational: if there was a way to reuse what ever is captured in the form of a solid, that could generate a new type of industry based upon it.

I just think there has to be a better way then pumping underground. Especially after reading a few articles regarding the fact that C02 may cause other issues regarding decay of the underground caverns in which it will be stored.
