What methods do power plants use to cut down on CO2 emissions?

Terry Tamminen (Author & Environmental Policy Advisor) gives expert video advice on: What is a "fossil fuel"?; How does our use of fossil fuels cause global warming?; What are "carbon emissions"? and more...

Right now power plants do not cut down on their Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. There's very few ways that they can separate out Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from other pollutants. So if they're under some kind of a regulatory system that requires them to reduce their overall pollution, which includes carbon dioxide (CO2), they reduce pollution with either process efficiency or by diverting what comes out of the smokestack into some kind of a scrubber or other cleaning device, so they're bound to pick up some of the carbon dioxide (CO2). But there's no technology today that can separate out the carbon dioxide (CO2) from other pollutants.
