Not sure what direction to point you in. Gas storage in geological formations has been successfully practiced in the helium and natural gas industries for a while. Subterranean storage of carbon dioxide has also been successfully demonstrated. Apparently, there's a big gas field being used for this purpose off the coast of Norway since 1996.
I'm unaware of any examples of subterranean carbon monoxide storage. However, underground helium storage has been done successfully for a while. Helium is one of the best gases at leaking because of its small size, which should provide some reassurance as to the storage of larger gases underground.
I agree that greed and corporate malfeasance are a thing, but it's kind of a separate problem. The government is either going to enforce environmental regulations and manage our resources properly or it's not.
For sure. The fossil fuel industry is absolutely insidious.
