The fatal flaw with this line of reasoning is that carbon capture is guaranteed (by entropy) to be energy negative. We aren't in an either or of zero out emissions or carbon capture. We need to zero out emissions *and* carbon capture. Large scale carbon capture is only viable with large excess amounts of renewable power.
