Eh, carbon capture has always been a good idea to develop. Some things just make the most sense releasing greenhouse gases and will for the foreseeable future, e.g. CH4-powered rockets or CO2 released from cement. Will never be a problem if we're capturing as much as we emit.
- imtringued 6y agoCarbon capture works at a point site. Put your machine there and you get a nice concentration of CO2. Once it's in the atmosphere you are basically just building a more efficient tree. Any machines you build will have to be as large as forests. Who is going to pay for that? By definition this would be keynesian gold digging. Pay people to do something that has very little economic benefits for the individual doing it and it's not in competition with any other private industry. It's basically an extreme example of a luxury.
