This will not happen at from the bottom of the wells (~10,000 feet and deeper). The biggest risk is casing failure near the surface. That is where the risk of CO2 coming to the surface is a the biggest risk. But that goes for all wells.
With that said, your analogy is a little off but not completely. You die of carbon monoxide in your analogy and not carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide is poisonous. However you can die from carbon dioxide from oxygen displacement, i.e., hypoxia.

You'd think that Louisiana might get a leg up on other states since we're letting all these drilling/fracking/CO2 emission projects drag their nuts all over our faces.
but no. We'll just stay back here in our cancer rut, waiting for the day the doc gives you the big news.
Drilling wells, making H2 from CH2 and putting CO2 in the ground does not give you cancer.
That ethanol you drink frequently will give you cancer WAY before anything associated with this project.

I’m pretty sure Meaux was intentionally mixing up the molecules for laughs.

Yeah…I don’t think there is either, unless governments scale back the emissions restrictions and yank the 45Q and CARB credits.
I am VERY curious to see how newly elected Governor Landry will wade through this. There is a pretty significant, and very vocal, part of his base that just screams “green new deal” and “Biden killing Louisiana industry” when they hear the words “Carbon capture”.

They lost the local representative they were backing. Had a big dollar fund raiser in Baton Rouge for a Ponchatoula politician and also trashed his opponent with lies they sent out in the mail and he still got his arse kicked. F### air products

For a hundred years these companies have been pumping and dumping their shite in our water and air, but carbon capture is the thing that turns everyone here an environmentalist.

If I had to wager it would be on Louisiana once again missing out and allowing revenue generating industry to move to another state.

Really generous offer they are making here. $1 million a year to benefit the Lake Maurepas communities while they make $250 million a year in profit from this. Gee thanks!

This. Air Products discussed the how safe this injection project is and used the "trust the science" mantra at public hearings, but what they themselves apparently trust is the old school La. Lobbyist's handbook.
Only regret I have but one upvote to give you, PT.

I was getting at least two to three flyers a day for about a few weeks leading up to the election for that guy. He even canvassed my neighborhood with a fake grin and gave me an even faker "thank you for your service".
Yeah, they were trying way too hard to sully the name of a local councilwoman who actually did her job while on the council.

CO2 is such a TINY fraction of total greenhouse gases, and human-linked CO2 is again a TINY fraction of CO2.
It’s all one big damned SCAM.

Do you have natural gas seeping up now? These types of responses are stupid. They are drilling several miles deep. MILES. It's not like someone is going to dutch oven your community with fart gas. Deep injection wells have been around for a long long time.

It is not how deep the storage is(11miles).. it is the pathway and containment …
Lots of points of failure along those and opportunities for poor engineering and maintenance decisions..
BP can write a book on this from oil wells to plant facilities.. and they had a lot of industry experience on the proper management yet mistakes still happen..
you only need one minor mistake to snowball into something catastrophic. Resulting in a forever change in the lifecycle at the surface for the environment and people.
I would not want this project in my area.

I'm against this whole capture & sequestration thing because its a tax dollar driven money grab created by the government and they're giving away our borrowed tax debt to eager businessmen that see the opportunity to make free cash off of a waste product they were going to throw away to begin with and otherwise get fined by the government for creating. I'm not against this whole thing because because of the injection wells themselves. People that think this is the one thing that will kill the Maurepas swamp are stupid. frick the government creating this corrupt circle jerk, not the engineers trying to capitalize on it.

So no one in lake Maurepas will benefit while politicians & their NGO buddies will enjoy campaign donations.
