I disagree with the idea that we shouldn't build capturing innovations on top of chimney CO2 emissions just because we need to eliminate those chimney emissions. Yes, we should reduce chimney emissions. But it appears that isn't going to be as easy as we'd like. It's why we're seeing various European countries turning on their coal plants again because Russia turned off the gas. We really need to have these capturing innovations that happen at the chimney too. I wrote this other comment a couple of days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31850610 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31850610 I don't see us succeeding in reducing our dependency on fossil fuels in the near future. We can achieve some reductions at national level. But these fossil fuels are simply going to find a customer somewhere else. It would be better if the West can provide cheap sustainable fuels or export/sponsor CO2 capturing solutions for foreign countries.
