Expansive, doesn’t scale, used as an excuse to not reduce emissions.
Once more with feeling! Carbon capture is never going to do what they claim it will do because of the scope of the scale. It would literally be impossible to build an operate as many of these carbon capture operations as needed just to break even? we’re talking thousands and thousands and thousands of these plants, that would need to be built. Do the math. Divide our yearly output of carbon dioxide by the amount of CO2 that is eliminated by one of these plants. This whole thing is just a way of delaying and obfuscating the problem: we have to stop pulling fossil fuels out of the ground and burning it. No matter whose greed gets hurt.
