Yes, destroying oil and gas is a good idea for several reasons. 1) these capture demos usually don’t capture ALL the CO2 emitted. 2) gas still has leaks and oil still has spills 3) there’s potentially a finite amount of easy to access carbon capture storage repositories. Using it for more fossil fuel burning is maybe a bad idea. 4) there are still geopolitical problems associated with oil and gas 5) there is still a FINITE AMOUNT of oil and gas. 6) If we keep oil and gas infrastructure in place, what’s to stop a Trumpian populist in the future from just stopping the carbon capture program to save money and reduce costs? Then we’d be back to square one. This has happened in the past when the Bush admin suspended environmental rules because of “oil shortage.” But if we get rid of oil and gas infrastructure, that’ll basically be impossible except with massive reinvestment. 7) There’s reason to believe these programs are just headfakes by oil and gas, cover to keep emitting as much as possible while alsways promising to start carbon capture “next year” or whatever.
