Clean Coal? New Technology Buries Greenhouse Emissions

Quote:

"A key to achieving this, Couch and other researchers say, is to capture the carbon dioxide and send it underground instead of releasing it into the atmosphere."

Question:

What problems would occur by pushing the carbon dioxide underground?

Comment:

I would assume that capturing the carbon dioxide underground would have its own problems, so is capturing it really a good idea? Food could stand the risk of getting contaminated, soil could be permanently damaged and I'm sure that there would be a whole other string of problems as well. I'm not sure if in the long run, capturing the gases underground would be more beneficial than letting it go into the air.
