Drilling down into the prospects for gasification

Last month,I went off into some blue skies thinking about the energy shortfall,gasification,hydrogen and CO_2 capture and storage.This month,I want to grab the string on that balloon and pull it down to earth a little.There's a lot of promise and a lot of interest in gasification right now,but what are the issues? And why spend all that money? It seems to make sense in the US,but what about here in Europe?
