Proponents of cementing the state's carbon targets into law through 2030 may have to concede parts of their program to opponents or leave their plans open to legal challenge, thanks to a combination of restrictive tax laws and problems with the market.

The pioneering experiment in Iceland mixed CO2 emissions with water and pumped it hundreds of meters (feet) underground into volcanic basalt rock -- where it rapidly turned into a solid. "We need to deal with rising carbon emissions. This is the ultimate permanent storage -- turn them back to stone,' said...
