FROM NIMBY TO NUMBY

Not under my back yard: “[Science and technology] research group Battelle is pulling out of a $92.8 million project to test carbon capture and storage (CCS) in Ohio -- one of seven regional sequestration tests underpinning the U.S. Department of Energy's program to kick the wheels on CCS. “ ... “[S]imilar concerns are blocking European power giant Vattenfall's plan to sequester CO2 from its innovative oxyfuel coal-fired power plant in Schwarze Pumpe, Germany.”

Fear of subterranean climate change, perhaps?
