We're not talking about an economic loss, we are talking about a potential subsidy to a sector of the economy to build massive numbers of carbon capture facilities.
I'd prefer a $1 trillion carbon-mitigation subsidy over a $1 trillion tax cut to be sure...
- Bartweiss 8y agoThis debate feels a bit like people talking about how much money is 'wasted' on a Mars rover, ignoring the difference between "the value of materials shot into space" and "the total cost of building something, including salaries and capital expenditures that aren't destroyed". The cost of doing something is not the same as an economic loss from doing it.
