You're right it is stupid.
The plan here was to take CO2 from Colorado natural gas wells, because their natural gas wells have a lot of CO2 mixed in with the hydrocarbons for some reason. Capture that natural gas CO2 which is really easy, pipe line it to Texas and shoot the CO2 down into declining and dead oil wells instead of water to get more oil out of them.
So instead of piping it to TX and shooting it down an well where it would stay till at least the next ice age, they just blow it off into the atmosphere.
