It has been said that a landowner interest in his property extends from the surface to "the center of the Earth," which would be over 3,900 miles. Whether the "center of the Earth" theory is binding law or hyperbole remains to be seen. There have been increasing suggestions that much like the US Supreme Court put a bound on a property owner's airspace rights "up to the heavens" to make way for aviation, there should be a bound to the depth of subsurface ownership rights based on reasonable expectations to make way for carbon sequestration. However, treating deep underground pore space as a public resource rather than a private property interest is likely to draw opposition and claims of regulatory taking. While the approach may have some appeal from the standpoint of promoting carbon sequestration as a[url=http://www.mcse-classes.com]mcse[/url] matter of public policy, one potential problem with this approach is the well-established body of law concerning subsurface mineral interest rights, which are found at the same depths that would be used for carbon storage.
