When it's the government doing the building, where is the money going to actually go? Are there readily available carbon capture facilities operating right now

When it's the government doing the building, where is the money going to actually go? Are there readily available carbon capture facilities operating right now at commercial scale?
- SECProto 5y ago400 million would fund a lot of emissions reductions (obvious ones like improving residential/commercial efficiency with insulation, adding more renewable energy, and less obvious ones like improved grid interties, etc). CCS is not real yet (though if there was $200/t on the table, it would be more likely to come around). The real positive impact it would have though is incentivizing lower carbon development: if traditional concrete has unpriced carbon emissions, there's no incentive for a design to specify using a low carbon alternative that might cost slightly more.
