CO2 oil well injecting works

Canada's Weyburn project CO2 injection process seams to work. If other people follow suit, from one-third to one-half of the carbon dioxide emissions that currently go into the atmosphere would be pumped into wells that would then increases the field's production by 10,000 barrels a day. This means that it would enhance oil recovery up to 60%, extend the life of aging oil fields by decades. I hope this doesn't slow down interest in alternative energy sources.
